Ingredients

For the beef chili

2 ½ lbs ground beef
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 jalapeño pepper minced
1 large green onion diced
1 can chipotles minced
¼ cup chili powder
1 tbsp cumin powder
3 cloves garlic minced
2 cups chicken broth/stock
⅛ cup flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1 lime juiced

For the burgers:

2 lbs ground beef
beef rub to taste
4 hamburger buns
4 slices cheddar cheese
onion rings

Instructions

For the chili:

In a large pan, cook the ground beef on a medium heat until browned.
Add all other chili ingredients except lime juice. Allow to simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring every 10 minutes.
Stir lime into chili and set aside until ready to assemble chili burgers.

For the onion rings:

Follow onion ring instructions. Usually 15-20 minutes at about 390°F/200°C.

For the burgers:

Start up BBQ grill and heat to medium-high heat, about 350°F/180°C. Preheat for 10-15 minutes, or until grill has reached target temperature.
For beef into 4 evenly sized patties. Apply beef rub to burgers generously on both sides.
Transfer patties to grill and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side. With one minutes remaining, place a cheese slice on each burger and cook for a further minute.
Remove burgers from grill and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes. Place burgers in buns, pour 2 cups of chili on each burger, add a handful of onion rings, and place bun lid on top.
