How to Make Chili Quarter Pounder

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions (about 1/4 lb each).
  3. Gently shape each portion into a 1/2-inch thick patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (71°C).
  5. While the burgers cook, lightly toast your buns.
  6. Serve the Chili Quarter Pounder burgers on toasted buns. Top with your favorite chili sauce, cheese slices, and chopped onions.
