For the Burger Patties:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Optionally, add smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for additional flavor (heat).
- Mix the ingredients well and form into burger patties.
- Grill or cook the patties in a skillet until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- If using cheese, add a slice to each patty about one minute before they are done cooking.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
To Assemble:
- Place the cooked hamburger patties on the buns.
- Spoon a generous amount of chili over each patty.
- Add any additional optional toppings you like.
- Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
Notes
Chili Consistency: If you prefer a thicker chili, you can simmer it for a longer period to reduce the liquid. For a thinner chili, you can add a bit more broth or tomato sauce.
