Sweet Chilli Hamburger

If you are like myself and love a well cooked hamburger, my sweet chili hamburger is a great twist on the original. The burger has an enticing smoky sweetness that is mixed with the warming of the chili. Topping it off with the traditional hamburger accompaniments really brings it all together. I recommend cooking your patties until just pink in the middle for the best results.
