Start by heating a large saucepan over medium heat. Pour in your canned chili or homemade chili, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer gently for about 30 minutes until it thickens.

While the chili simmers, shape your ground beef into thick patties. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.

In a separate small saucepan, heat your queso cheese sauce on low, stirring frequently until bubbly and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.

If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for the last few minutes of cooking until crispy, about 2 minutes.

Assemble your burger by layering the toasted bun, burger patty, warm chili, melted queso, and crunchy corn chips.

Serve immediately on plates or a platter while still warm.
