Ingredients

12 frozen onion rings

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, preferably chuck

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 

Vegetable oil, for the grill

4 slices yellow cheddar cheese

4 brioche buns, split

1 cup prepared chili, warmed

1/3 cup barbecue sauce

Directions

  1. Prepare the onion rings as the label directs; keep warm. Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. During the last minute of grilling, top each patty with a slice of cheese. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the buns, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Top the bun bottoms with the burger patties, chili and onion rings. Drizzle with the barbecue sauce, then cover with the bun tops.

I'm surprised no one has rated this yet! I got this recipe out of the Food Network magazine and it is a perfect burger. Chili and bbq sauce sounded weird, but it is a revelation. We used homemade onion rings and 80/20 ground beef. Beautiful toasted buns make a huge contribution to this dish. I was happy that my picky family liked it because it is definitely better than an ordinary burger.<br /><br />Read more at: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/loaded-chili-cheeseburgers-recipe.html#sni-reviews?oc=linkback
