FRITO CHILI CHEESEBURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the chopped bacon in a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Brown the bacon, then add the chopped beef roast, onions, and garlic, and cook another 5-8 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides. Stir occasionally.
• Add the spices and sugar to the pot, along with the canned tomatoes and beans. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir and cover. Once the mixture comes to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 1 1/2-2 hours, until the beef is very tender. (The smaller you chop the beef the faster this happens.) Once the meat is tender, add the masa and lime juice. Stir and allow the masa to thicken the chili for another 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Once the chili is ready, Preheat the grill to high heat. Separate the ground beef and form into 6 patties that are just slightly larger than the buns. Sprinkle both sides generously with seasoning salt.
• Grill the patties for 3-5 minutes per side. (I like mine a little pink, so three minutes per side is usually perfect.) Then grill the sliced onion rounds for 1-2 minutes per side.

CHILI-PIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a skillet over medium; add onion and garlic. Season and cook until translucent, 3 minutes. Add chili powder; cook 30 seconds. Stir in ketchup; cook 1 minute. Shape beef into 4 patties, each a scant 1/2 inch thick; season.
• Place 1 slice cheese on bottom half of each bun; place separated tops and bottoms on a baking sheet and toast in oven while burgers cook. Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high.
• Add burgers and cook, pressing with a spatula, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip; reduce heat to medium. Top each burger with a quarter of onion mixture and a slice of cheese. Cover and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Serve on buns with lettuce, jalapeños, and chips.
