CLASSIC CHILI

Classic Chili image

Mom's homemade chili recipe was the best! She knew just the right ingredients to put her 'stamp' on it. I could eat it with my eyes closed and know it was hers. It amazed me that she could put it together in so little time. -Marjorie Carey, Alamosa, Colorado

HAMBURGER SIZE (AKA CHILI SIZE)

Hamburger Size (aka Chili Size) image

Back during the 50's in Southern California, this was a very popular dish in small "Mom and Pop" diners. It doesn't appear on menus anymore, but it is still a solid comfort food for a chilly evening. Wash it down with ice cold beer.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 hamburger buns
1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans chili (I like Dennison's fatfree turkey chili)
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup canned jalapeno slices
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

Spread butter on the open faces of the buns, sprinkle them with garlic powder and black pepper, then fry them on a griddle if you have one, or in a skillet, until toasty brown.
Mold the meat into patties then cook them thoroughly.
Heat the chili.
I use a microwave.
Depending on your taste,you might wish to muscle up the chili a bit with some hot sauce.
Plate it up by placing the buns, face up, on the plate.
Put the meat patty on the bun, smother it with a generous amount of chili, sprinkle some cheese over the chili, scatter onions and nacho slices on top of everything.
Dig in!
