The video is a recipe tutorial for a chili cheeseburger, which the host considers to be the most underrated burger of all time. The recipe starts with making a simple chili using ground beef, onions, and a spice mix. The chili is then cooked for about 30 minutes to an hour to thicken it to the right consistency.
The next day, the host makes smash burgers using 80/20 ground chuck and cooks them in a cast-iron pan with beef tallow. The burgers are smashed and seared to create a crispy crust, then topped with cheese, chili, pickles, and pickled jalapenos.
The finished burger is a flavor bomb, with the chili adding a rich and spicy flavor to the beef. The host recommends using a brioche bun to contain the filling and minimize spillage.
Throughout the video, the host also promotes Thrive Market, an online grocery store that offers wholesale prices on healthy and organic products.
