• Salt and coarse black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped plus 2 tablespoons grated
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef stock

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 pound beef and brown and crumble. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin and coriander. Add chopped onion and garlic, and cook 2-3 minutes to soften. Add tomato paste and stock, and simmer to thicken and combine flavors, 15-20 minutes.
Step

Bring potatoes to boil, salt the water and boil them for 3-4 minutes; drain. Heat about 1/4 cup EVOO in a sauté pan for shallow frying. Fry sliced potatoes until very crisp like fat potato chips. Remove to paper towels to drain and season with salt.

Combine remaining pound of ground beef with grated onion, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Form 4 patties that are thicker at edges and thinner at the center for even cooking.

Heat grill or griddle pan over medium-high heat.
Step

Heat a small saucepot over medium heat; add butter and melt. Whisk in flour then add milk and thicken. Add cheese and melt; lower heat to keep warm.
Step

Grill burgers 8 minutes, turning once. Place on buns and top with a few rounds of crispy potatoes, some chili and cheese sauce. Set bun top in place with a little mustard and serve.
