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.

Tommy's, LA back in the 70's, 2AM waiting in a line, eating over a trough. Best chili cheese burger ever. Legend!

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

Grew up eating Tommy's here in LA, brings back great memories.

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).

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.

It’s amazing how some vinegar or other type of acid develops the spices. Excited to try this chili recipe!

[nancechrist]

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.

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)

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’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 🤤

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

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.

Second time I made this, but I ran out of tomato paste so I used gochujang with a little extra brown sugar. Very tasty!

[JohnHausser]

This channel deserves millions of subscribers! Very underrated!

Cheers from San Diego California 🤟

FANTASTIC !!! Serious thanks. It was really good even with my very lousy cooking skills.

[jonathanleggitt]

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!! ❤
