Toast the burger buns on the griddle until golden brown.

Form the ground beef into 4 to 12 oz patties without compacting them too much.

Season the patties with salt and black pepper directly on the griddle.

Place the patties on the hot griddle and perform a semi smash press to flatten them slightly.

Cook the patties until they are cooked through, then flip them.

Add cheese on top of the patties after flipping them.

Steam the buns by placing them back on the griddle to add moisture.

Assemble the burgers by adding a generous amount of chili on top of the patties.

Drizzle nacho cheese sauce over the chili.

Crown the burgers with the top buns and prepare for serving.
