List of Ingredients




2 pounds lean ground beef chuck
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, thinly sliced
1 (9-inch) round pizza bread, split
1/2 cup chili sauce or ketchup
6 slices red onion
Romaine or Bibb lettuce, shredded



Recipe



1. Prepare grill temperature for medium heat and place the grill rack 4-5
inches from coals.
2. In a large bowl, use your hands to combine beef, chili powder and salt.
Turn the beef onto a large sheet of foil or waxed paper and shape it into a
single 9-inch-round "burger." Brush top with half of oil.
3. Invert the burger onto the grill, remove foil and brush the top with the
remaining oil. Grill until bottom is well-browned, about 6 minutes. Use a
wide spatula to loosen the burger from the grill, then slide a baking sheet
under the burger to keep it from breaking, and flip it over.
4. Grill until burger is almost done, about 6 minutes longer for medium, 9
minutes for well. Place cheese on top of burger, cover grill and cook until
cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes.
5. Using the spatula, and the baking sheet if necessary, carefully set the
burger on the bottom half of the split pizza bread. Top with chili sauce,
onion slices, lettuce and remaining bread half. Slice into wedges to serve.
