- Tommy's Original World Famous Double Cheese Chili Burger! Yeah!
Chili Recipe: (Ballistic Griddle linked at bottom)
1 pound ground beef (not lean)
1/2 cup masa corn flour mixed with 1/2 cup AP flour
1 1/3 cups beef broth
4 cups water
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons grated (and then chopped) carrot
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 stick butter
1. Prepare the chili by first browning the meat and carrots in a large saucepan over medium heat. Crumble the meat as it browns. When the meat has been entirely cooked (7 to 10 minutes), pour the meat into a strainer over a large cup or saucepan. Let the fat drip out of the meat for about 5 minutes, then return the meat back to the first saucepan. Cover and set aside.
2. With the fat from the meat and half stick of butter, we will now make a roux. Heat the drippings and butter in a saucepan over medium heat (you should have drained off around 1/2 cup of the stuff). When the fat is hot, gradually add the flour/masa mixture to the pan and stir well. Reduce heat to medium low, and continue to heat the roux, stirring often, until it is a rich caramel color. This should take 10 to 15 minutes. Add the beef broth to the pan and stir. Remove from heat.
3. Meanwhile, back at the other pan, add the water to the beef. Add the roux/broth mixture and the other chili ingredients and whisk until blended.
4. Crank the heat up to medium high. Stir often until you see bubbles forming on the surface of the chili. Turn the heat down to medium low, and continue to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until thick. The chili should be calmly bubbling like lava as it simmers. When it's done cooking, take the chili off the heat, cover it, and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour before using it on the burgers. It should thicken to a tasty brown paste as it sits.

This is a huge reason why I miss Southern California so much! Tommy’s is the best burger I’ve ever had!!!
honestly and la too the taste of the burger is just iconic I tired one in Bakersfield and it was mockery 😂
still live here in cali and you must be out of your FUCKING MIND if you think that is the best.
ALWAYS my 1st stop when I go back to Cali. Tommy was actually my dads cousin, we went there a lot.
Tommys is the ONLY thing I miss about living in Southern CA.
I live around the corner from Tommy's here in Norwalk and Tommy's is trash......u want a good chili cheese burger...homemade is the way to go.
Thanks, I’m a transplant Californian, I made this today and it is damn near perfect. Made it exactly like your recipe and while it was cooking all I could smell and think about was Tommy’s. Thicken up the way it should have and made my burger taste phenomenally. Thanks again!
What makes their burgers absolute money are their veggies! The pickles, tomatoes, and onions are so fresh and tasty!
Your recreation looks like the best one of the many I have seen, I’ll make it this weekend. I miss Tommy’s , wish they opened one in Texas.
As usual, great stuff. Thanks Greg!
Thanks Greg, I asked you for this recipe over a year an a half ago and I'm glad you finally got to it. I'm Hanna try this, I LOVE TOMMY'S!!!
LOVE your videos Greg!!!
Really enjoyed this one! Thank you Greg
Love your vids dude. Very clean, gets to the point, a nice beer addition at the end, keep them coming!!!!
I lived in LA in the early 80's and I used to go to the 'original' Tommy's and get a double chili cheese burger, plus a handful of pickled serrano peppers and a soda for breakfast 5/6 days a week - it was really cheap but oh so good - I've had withdrawal symptoms ever since I moved back to OZ and I've never managed to successfully recreate the 'Double Chili Cheese Burger', tomorrow I'm having a crack at copying this recipe. Hand on heart, the double chili cheese burger is the best burger that I've ever tasted, thanks so much for bringing back so many good memories.
That looks fantastic Greg, The Burger looks huge & yummy
I love watching these videos because the food looks so good, another great burger video
Looks amazing!
This is it!! You nailed it! Great job and thank you for sharing! I did it as I watched the video, so I didn't realize you did half and half masa and all-purpose flour, I'll try that next time. But everything else was spot on!! Great job and thank you again!
that looks.... Awesome!!! great vid
When I lived in L.A., I would eat at Tommy's almost every day at lunch.That was years ago. Thanks for this recipe. I can't wait for my family to try, what I've always considered the best burger, ever!
Hilman wow No way and burgers over rated
Did you try the recipe? is it similar to Tommy's
What was the Hamburger stand that was in a train in Hollywood?
@@Moondoggy1941 Carney's on sunset.
@@dunsmoregaines4239 Thanks, I hope they are still there I will give them another try.
I’m a Tommy’s chili addict. Was raised on Tommy’s chili but I moved to Kansas and I’ve been jonesing for years. Gonna try this recipe!!!
eat at fred n reds in joplin its similar just with spaghetti
Greg, You're amazing! Nobody makes a better looking burger than you. I'm always inspired and in awe of the things you do. Amazing video.
I am trying to watch all the burger vids and ran across this one I missed. Thanks Greg. I learn something on every one.
Absolutely GLORIOUS brother!!!
Man that looked ridiculously awesome bro!!! Very nice!! That chili recipe alone is priceless!
Honestly mate you're a real top bloke, love watching your videos and the little tweaks you make, especially like the fact you don't play around with little bites! haha - Much Love from Australia.
Wow!!! Thanks so much for doing this. Great job! I'm one of the guys who ask for this. I really appreciate it!
I'm watching this at 2 in the morning because I have problems sleeping and you're making me hungry!
Fantastic looking burger!
Always enjoyable to watch all your videos..
Cheers
looks like you nailed it bro, again! tommys is bomb! a Socal landmark. keep the great content coming greg!
I swear I'm going to have to make every Burger on your channel. They look bloody amazing!
Copied your recipe today: absolutely delicious! Thanks for such great stuff, geetings from Frankfurt / Germany.
Great looking burger and great beer choice!!
Stopped by after about two years. Nice to still have you flipping patties around!
Thanks for your videos. I have learned so many new burger recipes from you. Totally awesome channel and I am so glad I subscribed. You do it right.
I eat real clean so watching these when im craving something helps me get over em
Yes!!! I have been waiting for this video since I subbed years ago!!!
Love Tommy's !
That looks like a burger that will get you through the day! Nice minimal loss burger toss / reduced chili-drip burger flip as well!
Wow, looks awesome! Nice work sir
Greg, you are the king of burgers brother!! So dang good!!! Great job!!!!
Looks really Great!!! Best regards from Germany
That is a really impressive looking burger. It's got a lot going for it. Cheers!
I looked all over the web and found the same recipes for Tommy's chili as well. I'm very excited about giving this a try. FYI, a wire potato masher is the best tool I've used for breaking up the ground beef to get those small chunks you're looking for.
Awsome...i will try it..thank you...
I live in Los Angeles and had the original Tommy's from the rampart location, with that being said we here are lucky that they sell the chili in separate size containers.
That burger was off the charts Greg. Very interesting call with the masa roux for the chili, I think you are right with the 50/50 masa to flour. I'm going to have to give that a try.
My wife and I made this.
We followed this recipe as best as we could, given the availability of ingredients.
Our ground beef did not have that much fat. We had to add more butter.
This is the perfect hot dog chili.
We can not wait to try it on burgers. We can't stop eating it. Thanks, it's close I'll give you that.
Love your videos. When I want my ground beef in fine crumbs, I hit it with a potato masher as it cooks.
You'll get better flavor with the chili if you add the dry spices to the meat when it's cooked. Adding spices/salt to chili after the liquid is added requires a lot more to get the flavor right, especially salt. You'll never get caught up. JMO. I use cumin/chili power, GP and OP too. Using serranos or jalapeños to the meat mix is nice too.
Thank you James. I just made in prep for 4th of July and I couldn't just spices right, over seasoned! Also, my masa and flower did not turn brown. All and all it was a great video but I'll try it again using your tips
Totally agree. Whenever I make chili, I always spice the meat while it’s cooking. If using onions an fresh peppers, I normally caramelize them slightly before throwing the meat into the pan. It gets the right flavors blended just the way you want them.
Thanks for this video. I might try this one day.
Excellent video Greg. I don't know if I'll ever make it to Tommy's, but I may try this.
Love your channel, greetings from Serbia :)
Greg, when you went in for the second bite (Double Bite), that is when you sold it! Great cook, great explanation and great video! Your version of this look outstanding! thanks for sharing this!
I love your bbq, but I swear your burger videos are the best. I HAVE to have a burger now.
great video ... love ballast point
Going to SoCal Friday and I cannot wait to get this
awesome looking good burger Greg
delicious juicy and tasty
that looks great. huge Tommy's fan being a life long California resident.. will try this weekend.
watching this guy make burgers makes me feel like my dad teaching me to make this! thanks pops!
That is one of the most incredible burgers I’ve ever seen! I’m going to follow this recipe and try it out. I’ve never had the original, but this looks too delicious.
Make this. It is delicious.
awesome..I love eating there
Thanks i will try this recipe. I used to eat Tommys burgers every weekend in LA. Greetings from Nicaragua!
Thanks for posting this video! I live is SoCal so I
occasionally I’m lucky enough to be close by one. I’m gunna give this recipe a
go. Oh, NAPKINS are a must!
greg, your channel is so addicting! i love it. i see a video. im like.. ok. ill watch it. haha keep it up man.
The patties on their own look fantastic!
I saw this in my feed and was like not gonna watch it... A few days later I gave in. Looks greasy and delicious. Another good video love how you do some research and tell us the who what when where and whys. Never fail to make me hungry. Hahah
Drooool, that burger looked so yummy. Also looks like it could fill me up for a few hours.
i havent tried this yet, but my mouth is salivating
Grew up in LA but now live in Berlin, Germany, so it's nice to see this! The chili looks spot on, with that same odd color. Gotta try this. Thanks!
just tried this to make this and you know what? It's better than the one I had back in LA. Thank you very much.
I better check out Tommy's one day. There's one 20 minutes from where I live (Cypress) and it's so close to Cal State Long Beach. Can't believe I never heard of this joint until now. Been searching for a good chili cheeseburger for the longest time ever and boy am I glad you uploaded this video. One of these days, I'm going to Tommy's and I know I'm gonna love it.
Just finished watching this video again for about the 8th time , can't get over how identical your burger looks like to a Tommy's , kick ass Greg 👍👍...
You deserve a million subscribers
I grew up out there (Van Nuys), there was (is?) a Tommy's on Roscoe near 405 we used to frequent way back when, great recreation Greg!
wow that looks damn good! thanks, Greg!
You got the masa right, that’s what they use. They don’t add water, only beef broth. In fact the meat is cooked in beef fat too. Increase the amount of spices about 1/3. Between skipping the water and increasing the spices that will take care of that bland flavor you spoke of. So remember, no water! If you put it in the chili it has to also add flavor.🤗
I’m not allowed to tell you how I know this either.😂
Miss Smarteepants hello, you made a comment on the Tommy’s burger recipe. You said don’t add water just beef broth. Did you mean 4 cups beef broth to a pound of meat and does it matter what type of broth ( cubes or already prepared liquid ) . Also you said cook beef in beef fat. Do you mean add beef fat besides what the cooked meat already has ? If so what type. Thank you for your time.
Good to know. Auntie of Ian Koulax
Garage crazy I don’t measure, never have, but that sounds about right.
Yes, they use beef fat the way we would use butter or olive oil. So in addition to what the beef already has.
LA native here. Tommy’s is where I go when not near Carney’s (blows away Tommy’s). Anyway, I can tell this chick knows her dealio-no water, baby, and use beef tallow for the fat (Why? Because you CAN). Xtra flavor. I also add a big tsp of Accent (MSG). 🤟
You did it again Greg! I work in Kearny Mesa around the corner from Tommys.... gonna go get one! keep it up Greg!
Oh wow that chilli burger looks sensational. I've never heard of a burger with chilli before Greg. How awesome
good looking burger!!
Looking for a CC Tommy's chili brought me to your channel. Yours was listed first. So I clicked on it So glad I did! Liked your video content. So clear and concise with very little fluff. Just subbed you and all new content:) Looking forward to trying your CC recipe for Tommy Burgers. A bit of background. My husband grew up in Socal and introduced me to this culinary crack!! LOL!! Tbh..at first I wasn't sure as I was never a fan of chili burgers. And this chili was definitely something new to my palate. But it sure didn't take long for this to grow on me and now I can't get enough of the stuff! FF a few years and we now live in Southern Utah. But that puts us close to Las Vegas. And we recently were thrilled to learn that Northern Vegas has a Tommy Burger!! We just tried it two days ago and it was clean, well run and the food was just as good if not better than the one we frequented in Socal. We even stopped at Walmart and bought a small cooler so we could order a couple of their breakfast burritos to go home with us and put in the fridge for breakfast the next day. OMG!! I've yet to find a better tasting BB!! yum!! Will update as soon as we give your CC recipe a go! 😜
Thanks for the comment! Tommy's is an icon here in SoCal for sure! If you and your husband like burgers, check out my Ballistic Burgers channel. Nothing but burgers and a lot of copycat recipes. Cheers, F.I.H.!
I remember Tommy's from when I was a kid in Northridge.. Best fish & chip ever!!!
that burger looks good! and I like that BBQ sign
love tommys! looks just like the original.
I love a messy burger and I bet that one Rocked!!! It sure did look good Greg. Nice call on using the Masa flour!!! Have a fabulous week brother!
You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me
@Phoenix Trent Instablaster =)
@Emiliano Aidan i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Emiliano Aidan it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Phoenix Trent happy to help =)
Great tip about the mustard. I made a copycat yesterday. They had a special on the chili--normally 16 bucks on a quart but 4 bucks for Labor Day. Got two quarts...but may have to freeze...because waist line!
Grind your own and own it.
There is so much great grass-fed beef and good beer that we can recreate this anywhere, Greg has led the way, so lets post our take on his burger. Thanks, Greg, for the inspiration!
Damn that was mouth watering. Great cook.
I'm a tommys addict. Glad you re created this
The only way to eat a Tommy's Burger is get drunk first. I live in TX now and can't get one, but your video really brought back some good times from the 90s! Thanks for creating it. I love you!!!!! Note:. It's easier to eat if u get a single cheeseburger (no chili) and a side of chili fries ;) mmmmmmmmmm.....
Another Great one!!! I wish the 10 people that voted this down would come out and say what exactly they did not like tho.
Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome burger!
I love Tommy's they have Willie's in downtown Sacramento which is the same. My God I miss their chili cheese fries! Perfect hangover cure!
Omg Greg! That is a piece or delicious art!
That looked obscenely good.
I'm in Mossouri and I crave Tommy's from when I was little Dang so good
Great job looks like the real thing
killer burger Greg, excellent chili too.
I'm sure yours is better. Sure looks good. Thanks for posting.
Looks great, Greg. If I was going to take the time and effort to make a nice dark roux like that I'd probably make gumbo, wifey's favorite :) Thanks for sharing!
I went to the original across the street from the CBS studios. A neighbor used to get a regular steady supply of free tickets to the Carol Burnett show tapings. We'd hit the Tommy's where I learned that you HAD to dedicate a hand to holding the burger until it was eaten. Arizona doesn't have this chain yet but maybe someday. But I can see several uses of this chili - It would be fantastic on pasta.
Thank you, Greg, for your perseverance to creating the knock-off. Now, if you want a real good challenge... Red Cabbage Salad from North Woods Inn, another iconic SoCal restaurant. All the knock-offs are no where close to nailing it.
Have fun!
I love this man
Primanti Brothers "Pittsburger" sandwich.
bias cut Italian bread, tomatoes, provolone cheese, fresh cut fries, coleslaw. all on sandwich and mash it flat enough to get in mouth. I used to work there.
the hard part is matching the coleslaw because its good coleslaw. they kept that secret.
the burger made 2nd place on Big Eats one year.
it can be made with two eggs optional.
