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

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!
