A soft potato roll holds this flavor-packed burger in place. Ingredients 2 teaspoons vegetable oil ½ cup finely chopped onion 2 teaspoons minced garlic (from 2 cloves) Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 2 teaspoons chili powder ¼ cup ketchup 1 pound ground beef (85 percent lean) 8 slices American cheese 4 potato buns, such as Martin's Iceberg-or romaine-lettuce leaves, pickled jalapeños, and corn chips (preferably Fritos), for serving Directions Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a skillet over medium; add onion and garlic. Season and cook until translucent, 3 minutes. Add chili powder; cook 30 seconds. Stir in ketchup; cook 1 minute. Shape beef into 4 patties, each a scant 1/2 inch thick; season. Place 1 slice cheese on bottom half of each bun; place separated tops and bottoms on a baking sheet and toast in oven while burgers cook. Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Add burgers and cook, pressing with a spatula, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip; reduce heat to medium. Top each burger with a quarter of onion mixture and a slice of cheese. Cover and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Serve on buns with lettuce, jalapeños, and chips. Frank Frances Rate it Print
