Our Memorial Day weekend ended in style with Triple Chili Cheese Burgers.

Started out making a batch of John Setzler’s hotdog chili.

Seasoned a pound of hamburger with:
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup grated Jack cheese
1 tbsp. of Steak seasoning
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Formed 3 ea. 1/3 lb. patties and reverse seared them.




Toasted the buns and assembled the burgers.


Plated shots with a Rouge Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale. Burger layers are as follows: Mayo, lettuce, Hatch chilies (That’s 1), red onion, 1/3 lb. burger patty, jalapeño pepper jack (That’s 2), chili (That’s 3) and tomato.



Very messy but very tasty. :becky:
 
Hell yeah, man! Great looking burger!!!

What is the purpose of the slits in the patties? Additional "keep em' thin" measure in addition to the dimple?
 
I have theory the Sloppier a burger is to eat the better it is, thta looks like a 1/2 roll of paper towels and a Garden hose shower finish:thumb:

Thanks peeps. The slits are just the results of the cheap ($1.97) hamburger press I bought. I'll be buying a better one soon.

Yes I should've made the patty's thinner. I was hoping these bigger ones wouldn't shink so much and I heard the dimple would help but it didn't. Still it was delicious but very messy.

I went pretty deep and large diameter with my dimple on the burgers I made yesterday and it seemed to help them from plumping up big time compared to no dimple/small dimple. Still experimenting here...

Thanks Bludawg. Amazingly I was able to eat it with unlocking my jaw and only 3 napkins. (And then had to wash in the sink)
