For enhanced flavor, consider using a chili with beans or adding your favorite chili toppings such as chopped onions, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream. Toasting the hot dog buns lightly on the grill adds a delightful texture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, for a customized taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the ground beef mixture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, minced onion, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into thin patties, slightly larger than a hot dog bun. (10 minutes)
03
Step
8 mins
Grill the Patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side for well-done, or until cooked to your desired degree of doneness. For safe consumption, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to allow it to melt. (6 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Heat the Chili: While the patties are grilling, heat the can of chili in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally. (10 minutes)
05
StepAssemble the Chili Dog Burgers: Cut each hamburger patty in half. Place two halves into a hot dog bun, side by side. Arrange dill pickle strips in the bun alongside the patties. Generously top with the heated chili. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)
