Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, chili sauce, prepared mustard, horseradish, minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Cut hamburger buns in half.
- Spread the hamburger mixture evenly on the cut sides of the buns.
- Place the prepared buns on a broiler rack.
- Brush the buns with melted butter or oleo.
- Broil 4 to 6 inches from the flame for 10 minutes, until heated through and slightly browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture. If you don't have chili sauce, ketchup can be a suitable substitute. Ensure your buns are sturdy enough to hold the mixture without falling apart. If you're short on time, pre-made hamburger patties can also work; just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these deviled hamburgers with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with American recipes like coleslaw or potato salad. Consider topping them with sliced pickles or cheese for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover deviled hamburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the buns under the broiler for a few minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but the broiler will help retain the crispiness of the buns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the hamburger mixture ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the hamburger mixture a day in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. When ready to cook, simply spread it on the buns and broil as directed.
What can I use instead of horseradish?
If you don't have horseradish, try using a small amount of wasabi or a dash of hot sauce for a similar kick. You can also omit it entirely for a milder flavor.
How do I ensure the burgers stay juicy?
To keep the burgers juicy, avoid overmixing the ground beef with the other ingredients. Form the patties gently and handle them as little as possible. Cooking them quickly under the broiler will also help retain moisture.
