Ideal for backyard barbecues or quick weeknight dinners, this easy recipe is a surefire way to satisfy your craving for a zesty burger with a Southwestern flair.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), bread crumbs, and the egg.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and grease lightly with vegetable oil.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for well-done). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in the pan during the last minute of cooking.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a bun. Add your choice of toppings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, and pickles, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade chili flavored hamburgers!
