Chili Burgers

Description: Great recipe for a chili burger with all the chili flavor right in the patty. Top it off like nachos and you have a truly delicious burger. I also have this original posted on about.com.

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs ground round or 3 lbs sirloin
• 1 small onion
• 3 tablespoons chili powder (more or less to suit your tastes)
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon beer (optional) or 1 tablespoon sangria (optional)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• refried beans
• onion, chopped
• jalapeno pepper
• cilantro, chopped
• nacho cheese
• salsa

Steps:

1. Mix ground beef, onion, chili powder, cumin, lime juice, beer or Sangria, garlic and oregano together in a bowl.
2. Shape into 12 patties.
3. Grill over hardwood coals (I use lump charcoal, better flavor than if you use smoke chips) until done to your preference.
4. Serve on hamburger buns or hard rolls with your choice of toppings.
