Mike's Monster Chili Burgers

These chili burgers are 1 inch thick and sure to satisfy! We have a hard time grilling up tiny burgers. With this burger recipe, you get a half pound of choice beef seasoned with chili powder and topped with your choice of condiments. We chose jalapeno peppers, of course, and good old American cheese, although cheddar would be nice as well.

• 1 pound lean ground beef
  
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
  
• 1-2 teaspoons chili pepper oil
  
• 2 teaspoons bread crumbs
  
• 2 whole wheat buns

Directions
