I've had a chili recipe I've been making for a decade, but I made this tonight for burgers and dogs this weekend and it's absolutely awesome. Love the sweet/heat combo.
I hope you mean hot dogs😅
Drop that recipe for the bois

Tommy's, LA back in the 70's, 2AM waiting in a line, eating over a trough. Best chili cheese burger ever. Legend!
Grew up eating Tommy's here in LA, brings back great memories.
I love Tommy’s!
I lived in Alhambra in the late 80's. Tommy's Chili Cheeseburgers were great. 👍💪 Another favorite spot of mine back then was The Hat. ❤ Pastrami sandwiches for the gods! 😍
Tommy's chili is the best. Chili dogs, chili burgers, chili fries. With the yellow spicy peppers. The one across the street from Budweiser in Van Nuys CA. One of my best all time culinary memories (I have the original chili recipe).
Tommys is a guilty pleasure I have maybe 2 or 3 times a year
tommy's chilli got egg in it
Merci beaucoup! You’ve inspired me countless times, and allowed me to impress my loved ones way more than I deserve. You’re amazing, keep it up!! ❤
Something Stephen mentioned here that I think is underrated is about how you need to cook out that moisture when browning ground beef. I had been browning ground beef incorrectly for years until I saw someone point that out. You can actually hear the sound change when the moisture is gone and the ground beef goes from kinda-steaming to frying in its fat.
Also, remember that you're browning the meat and not "graying" it. Let it get some color (Stephen also mentions this)
But you can dry the beef out. Best way to have a mix of tender meat and browning is to cook it like a burger.
My dad taught me as a kid to brown every meat I cook (especially for curries, stews, soups, sauces etc.) before adding any liquid and it's never failed me yet. It takes some patience and some meat really gives off a lot of water but it's definitely worth it.
Not joke,prolly be best chili recipe ever!!!! For that I gotta sub this guy is the real deal!!!!!
That looks like an awesome burger. Honestly, that double cheese smash burger is always a great way to go, but that chlli is really the cherry on top (to mix food metaphors).
Smashed Burger…
Smash burgers once done and eaten can’t be beaten ! I’ll never cook a fat burger again

There are many many recipes for Vegan burgers.
Try one, you will find vegan is so much better.
Meat is unnecessary
so yum
This is a damned good burger, and I've never had a chili cheeseburger before! The chili's heat is on point, and just makes this burger one of the best I've made.
where do I sign up the next time you make'em?
my favourite cooking channel. nothing pretentious. just good.
Maaaaaan I was just craving one of these and now there's a video on it, we used to have a place that made them really good at a local old school pharmacy/diner but the man who made the chili passed away a few years ago and he never wrote down the recipe
That's rough. Make it your mission to recreate it as well as you can 🍀👊🏻
That reminds me of an old restaurant in the SFV of LA called "chili my soul". Owner had like 100 recipes of some of the most unique and incredible chili I've ever had, and his death took every recipe with him. Never again have I seen anyone come close to his creativity or his quality.
That's so tragic 😥
Why are chili recipes so secretive? It is strange .
@@turdfurgason8476 Because there are so many variations that can be considered great.
Never tried a chili cheese burger before. Looks solid. Will try my hand at it this weekend.
You are almost at a million. So happy for you. You deserve it.
This channel deserves millions of subscribers! Very underrated!
Cheers from San Diego California 🤟
for sure, one of my favorite cooks on youtube by far. and love his personality aswell
I’ve been making your amazing “smashed burgers” since you first posted them! Thousands of burgers later they are still my favourite! Happy to add the chili, looks even more delicious 🤤
Damn thousands? lmao
@@nicoiozzi8488 I’ve made 12 thousand 500 smash burgers since his video released. Sometimes 3 meals a day for months and also my 5 roomies
@@snailnslug3dammmnnn 17 burgers a day none stop
Been watching the channel every once in a while, but this episode just made me subscribe
There’s not much more things in life that would be finer than a smashburger, I’ll tell you that
Can't believe this video was 2 years ago. Completely changed the way I cook ground beef. Tonight, my son and I turned this into chili cheese burger soup. I think you'd be proud of it, Steven. Hope I spelled your name the right way. Much love from Texas.
It’s amazing how some vinegar or other type of acid develops the spices. Excited to try this chili recipe!
Made this last weekend and my family LOVED it! I’m a hardcore Tommy’s chili fan (if you know you know) and this recipe did not disappoint! Thank you.
I made these last night for a friend and I.... WOW. He said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had, and I would tend to agree! Fantastic recipe. The chilli is SO GOOD. 10/10.
Second time I made this, but I ran out of tomato paste so I used gochujang with a little extra brown sugar. Very tasty!
yum
You're killing me Steve! Wow!
Yeah literally with MSG
@@hugobloemers4425 to "literally" kill someone with MSG you would have to bury them in it
@@hugobloemers4425 MSG has gotten a bum wrap! Yesterday's news on MSG, is fake news. I remember well when coffee was the worse thing you could possibly put into your body, but nowadays it's praised for its antioxidant properties and health benefits. Don't believe everything you hear.
@@danm8004 Probably one of the people who bought into the "Msg is dangerous!" thing
@@hugobloemers4425 Oh no you're one of those guys...
FANTASTIC !!! Serious thanks. It was really good even with my very lousy cooking skills.
I love that you showed the ingredients and brand you used. I've seen so many cooking videos and sometimes it's hard cuz I want to use exactly what they're using since I'm not an expert at cooking. You showing us the brand makes it much easier to go grocery shopping. Thanks
That's absolutely not a good way to go about cooking... He's always promoting organic foods, which are the most expensive and in no way does it make them superior. It's there for the green people, and organically grown foods, after decades of research, have still yet to show any benefits to mankind over traditionally grown foods. There is zero evidence that they are harmful or helpful in anyway to mankind. But feel free to pay that extra few dollars for what this guy is selling. Your best bet is to go to your local farmer and buy your own meat, eggs, milk. Make your own pasta or bread. It will taste a million times better than what you get in the store. "Brands" have nothing to do with cooking, unless you're specifically talking about some certified cheese or something that is under regulation. Do you really think professional chefs use brands in their restaurants. Food and cooking is what you make of it. This guy is just free balling it like you yourself could do if you open your imagination in the kitchen and cook what you want to feed your brain. He's cooking what his brain wants.
@@estevesobel2762 You know, there's a way to say that without being insulting and showing the world the chip on your shoulder.
Organic is a marketing gimmick, those pushing it are in it for the money or idiots or both.
I always use dried red ristra style chile peppers for the basis my chile. Such as Hatch, Poblano, or Arbol. Roast them, deseed them, rehydrate them and blenderize them. Easy.
Really cool to watch your channel grow! Hands down my favorite cooking show!!!
In N. Carolina, we do chili AND slaw on burgers and hotdogs.. the slaw is sweet & creamy, it cools down the heat and grease of the chili and burger/dog.. also we steam the bun.. (just get a steamer basket - you can cook the dogs, reheat the chili [in a little bowl] and steam the bun all in one quart pot.)
Video has only been up for three minutes but I already know this is going to be fire.
Dude I’ve been watching your videos since the start of the pandemic. Love every one.
I love the fact that you do everything in such a great passion! I wonder how do you know about all the recipes. Are they your own ones after some experiments?
If you cook as long as he does, you really get to know what works and what not. So i think he does everything on his own with some inspiration.
Looks delicious! Thanks.
Although it's a great burger recipe, hear me out, the 'Patty Melt' is the most unsung burger/sandwich out there. Your Patty Melt Video is Fantastic! Chili Cheese burger here is off-the-hook great! Perfetto!!!
Now imagine a patty melt with chili.
@@danm8004 NOW THAT'S A SANDWICH!!
Sitting here salivating! That looks beyond tasty.
little secret tip:
put a bit of dark choclate into the chili at the very end
that completely changes the game
WTF?😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂
why is the guy adding a spoonful of MSG ???😆 ... horrible ....!
@@krishnan-resurrection714 MSG makes everything better
@@MelancoliaI 🤢
@@MelancoliaI white western man dont know the magic of msg
After I finished drooling over it, I realized. This is a Mos Burger! When you come to Asia, have a Spicy Mos Cheeseburger.
I replaced the tomato purée, water, and beer with a quart of home canned tomatoes.
Just as good.
Prepping for the rest of the week is how I always do my dinner proteins - thaw Saturday night into Sunday morning, then Sunday afternoon I'll prep the meat & create the marinade for the meat to soak up throughout the week so that all I have to do after an exhausting day of work is toss some rice, seasonings & veg into the rice cooker (as mine's got a steam basket for veg and/or meat to use at the same time you're doing rice) then cook the meat itself after the rice cooker is done & the rice is resting.
Tip: it's easier to break up the ground beef into the small bits you need for chili sauce by mixing it with boiling water/stock. It will just fall apart without you having to do the whole pan dicing/smashing thing.
Yep, it makes a much finer consistency! That's traditional for hotdog chili around me
Why is this channel sooo UNDERRATED
Me and my dad love chilli so I think I’m definitely gonna try this one out. I made the red pepper sauce with shredded chicken over pasta and it was amazing! I’m thinking next time I make the red pepper sauce I’ll use some crawfish tails instead of chicken. I feel like it’ll be a great pairing
I just made this and it was fantastic! It has already made 4 chili cheeseburgers and there is plenty left over for chilidogs tomorrow and then some!
I've cooked this a few times already exactly as it's detailed and it is damn good, but the last two times I also added a little bit of cacao powder or dark chocolate, and some diced green pepper at (2:1 ratio onion/pepper) and just a tiny bit of liquid smoke, but I also switched from pilsner beer to IPAs..dude..I'm gonna be making this so often lol
in
Ooph YES!!
I have made this several times and I'm going to make it again tomorrow, it is simply amazing.
Dude...That beer addition. I HAVE to try that. My only concern is the lack of 'smokiness' which I love in a chilli. So I will add my smoked pap and maybe some ancho powder and maybe EVEN some chipotle in adobo if I'm feelin' lucky.
You are the first chef to bring to my attention to idea of sweet and spicy chilli. I absolutely love the confused food experience, that is to say, your palette and mind are confused by the visual or flavour combo. So this really hits home for me.
Absolutely great episode thank you
steve man i love your show! always making something i have to make myself that day. my favorite youtube chef! keep doing your shit bro
Awesome 👍👍👍
The beer used: Does it have to be the modelo (not complaining, love the beer) or is it pretty open to interpretation depending on flavor desires?
Generally speaking with chili I've found any beer works, even really mild domestics work excellent. Occasionally I've used a stout when making a richer heartier chili but even something like Red Dog or Hamms works terrific.
I use Budweiser!!!
Basically anything but if you use Coors then you might as well just use water.
Whisky or bourbon also works for me
I just made chili with ground beef and sausage, but instead of tomato sauce, I used a can of Manwich, chipotle peppers and New Mexico red chili powder. So it is a sweet and smokey flavor and aroma.
Hey, I have a question. Whenever I toast the buns for my burgers, especially those briochetype of buns they tend to get pretty greasy on top and collapse a little bit after getting them out of the pan. Is there any way to prevent this?
Toast in less fat
Brioche buns already have fat in them, don’t toast with any oil/fat use a very very hot pan. If you use a warm pan the fat comes out of the buns since you’re slowly warming them up. Hope that helps
"MSG" the answer to all spices..
Aint gonna lie, I was salivating when I was watching this...
Curious if you could cheat this a bit using a slow cooker?
I made a similar chili burger but instead of all beef I split it 70/30 as I had ground hot Italian sausage leftover. Using pork/sausage also allows you to skip using a fat.
I will definitely be giving this method a run through.
try mixing in some cooked pork chorizo instead of the sausage
nu way makes them they are amazing
What pan is that, that you used for the chili? 2:25 - 5:31

Its called a pon
I enjoy your channel very much. I like to cook and your recipes and presentation is very encouraging. Thanks.
I love this burger thank you for showcasing it. I love to use whole chili and make a real sauce/salsa/spice thingy from the ground up. But this way is a great way to remove some work and get great payback in flavour aswell. Sometimes I dont go for the normal red chili ones but some other good variants theres plenty. Theres tons of great flavours to explore if you have an interst for it and want to work a bit more I guess haha. What I have learned the hard way is to be careful with the core/seeds and make sure to balance the heat properly. My tip if you love this excellent recepie try making that great tasting Chili Spice Blend with base ingredients it does take a lot more time but its worth it and you get more controll over texture and taste. :)
That meat lace on the edges is the best part of smash burgers. These look amazing!
I’ve tried your recipes. They are awesome. Just a suggestion, never have the skillet handle reach out over the stove. A child could grab it and be blinded or scalded. Always have the handle pointed toward the right or left side.
good advice, thanks
What child? Haha
I don’t think that advice applies when there’s no child
As for the chili, I wouldn’t brown the beef. That gives you rubbery clumps of meat. Throw all the ingredients in a cold pot and bring it all up to a simmer while constantly stirring. This gives you a real fine texture in the meat grinds. This is how Cincinnati style chili is made and it is the traditional choice used to top burgers and hot dogs. The Maillard reaction is an overrated experience and wouldn’t be noticed anyway amongst all those spices and aromatics.
Lmao
@@oldchunkofcoal2774 you are easily amused

..you have just solved the "what is the meaning of life" food equivalent question for me.
Use cheddar next time and u have yourself a nice burger
@@numbblackpicture lmao «cheese». U do u bruh
@@numbblackpicture American cheese is not cheese. Its a cheese product. And it tastes like plastic. The only reason why people use it, is beacuse its cheap. U cannot change my mind
@@numbblackpicture The ketchup comparison is stupid btw. i would not buy ketchup without tomatoes, like the cheese youre buying, that is not cheese.
@@numbblackpicture Ketchup is ketchup. U get what u buy. If u want tomatoes or tomato sauce, buy that. When it comes to cheese, theres thousands of variants, but you choose American cheese bruh? Plastic cheese? Really?
@@numbblackpicture im norwegian. I lived in America for 2 years, and i was the unhealthiest ive ever been. Here in Norway, i cant even put on weight if i tried to. What im saying is, u go to the cheese aisle, u see all the incredible cheeses, and then u go ahead and pick american cheese. I find it unbelievable. American cheese is bland, tasteless cheese mixed with shit u dont want in your body. Its less than 50% cheese, so what the other 50+%?
Chili and cheeseburger, this mix ROCKS!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I'm gonna use this and the Whataburger recipe
I gotta add corn chips and fresh chopped onions. Thanks for the recipe!
I like your style with the heat/sweet combo!
this is why i love A&W restaurants. you can get chili and cheese on the entire menu and rootbeer comes in half gallon cups
WOW as Always 🍔
It looks great 👍
Awesome recipe 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾♥️
Well done. Some great tips here. I totally agree, the pickle is a must. Give it some balance.
Just made it and it was fantastic.
i'm a big fan of cooking with beer. I generally use it any time a recipe calls for wine. We are not wine drinkers here.
The burger looked awesome!!
Im going to make this.. loooks amazing
Your recipe was great my friend
Best pasta brand ever man, RESPECT!
I clicked on this to say Tommy’s and was happy when I seen the vid
Appreciate the video. Gave me a building block reference for my burgers.
Though I made mine sweet rather than spicy
Caramelized onions,
Mustard and white American
On toasted Hawaiian sweet rolls as the buns ❤
Appreciate you man.
Just got finished making this chili. If you haven't tried this yet, it is a must!!!
Orange-O in Glendale CA growing up was the spot. It's not there anymore...but I loved it so much. When I was in elementary school and middle school this place was king. MY buddy Ara and I would grab a chili cheese burger, chili cheese fries and a large Orange-O (blended ice and fresh squeezed orange from half sliced oranges. With malt. It was the perfect beverage) with some extra pickles on the side to cut the richness... occasionally if we had the extra 50?(can't remember how much it differed.) cents we would add bacon too.
most underrated channel on all of youtube
I like to put a little masa gating paste in my chili for the consistency and flavor,
There's a regional burger chain in and around Mississippi called Ward's. They specialize in their "Big Ones" which are chili cheeseburgers with pickles and mayo/mustard sauce. Those are amazing! They also make their own homemade root beer & have the absolute best biscuits for breakfast...
Love it ! Wise approach with the "rested" chili. Must also have intense spice flavor to serve as level up for food like a good burger.
Half pound chili burger is my favourite.
Two quarter pound burgers , lettuce, tomato and onion , chili con carne on top of burger and between burgers and in a burger bun. YUMMY
Thumbnail is on point.
Love that chili spice combo.
Totally agree chili cheeseburgers are so freaking good! Great video
Friggin amazing lookin burger well done sir
Full agreement. Completely underrated burger, and also my favorite. Fantastic recipe I cannot wait to try. But if I may offer a personal preference: I feel that in place of brioche that a really soft and squishy potato bread bun is my favored bun for chili cheese smash burgers!
This was an extremely fun video. Not too long, straight to the point!
I really appreciate that. I am a new subscriber, found this video on the
newsfeed. Thought I'd check it out, and very glad I did!
I want one ☝🏽 Looks Delicious 😊😋
That's just beautiful. Incredible flavors there.
Made this twice. First round made it original to specs, it was good. Then, second round I replaced the pickles and jalapenos with a thinly cut layer of pickled cherry peppers, that was fire! Try it.
That looks heavenly
Made this tonight . Exceptional!!!! Thank you for an awesome video!
Omg phenomenal
chili cheeseburgers with a slice of cheddar on it is just perfection
looks so good
So glad to see *Wyt chefs use salt and seasonings!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wow! Looks super delicious. Here in North Carolina, we call this the Carolina Classic. However, we add chopped onion, raw. Plus coleslaw and yellow mustard (French's). I've been eating these for, well, 40+ years. It is my favorite Burger by far. Thanks for the recipe. Will be making that Chili this week.
that Modelo, great choice! 😏😏
Looks fantastic.
