Back during the 50's in Southern California, this was a very popular dish in small "Mom and Pop" diners. It doesn't appear on menus anymore, but it is still a solid comfort food for a chilly evening. Wash it down with ice cold beer.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • hamburger buns4
  • lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground beef1
  • (15 ounce) cans chili (I like Dennison's fatfree turkey chili)2
  • small onion, coarsely chopped1
  • cup canned jalapeno slices3⁄4 cup
  • cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese1 cup

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Spread butter on the open faces of the buns, sprinkle them with garlic powder and black pepper, then fry them on a griddle if you have one, or in a skillet, until toasty brown.

  2. 2

    Mold the meat into patties then cook them thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Heat the chili.

  4. 4

    I use a microwave.

  5. 5

    Depending on your taste,you might wish to muscle up the chili a bit with some hot sauce.

  6. 6

    Plate it up by placing the buns, face up, on the plate.

  7. 7

    Put the meat patty on the bun, smother it with a generous amount of chili, sprinkle some cheese over the chili, scatter onions and nacho slices on top of everything.
