The use of cocoa powder AND espresso adds depth and richness to the flavor.

1/2 tablespoon chili powder, hot
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoons. sugar
1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoons roasted cumin, ground
1 lb. ground chuck
6 soft mini bakery buns, or mini ciabatta rolls
2 cups Gouda cheese, shredded
Kansas City style barbecue sauce, as needed

Preparation

In a bowl mix together all the dry ingredients and set aside.
Form mini hamburger patties approx. 6 to a pound.
Rub all sides of the patties with the dry rub.
Heat grill to high; when hot, place the burgers on grill and don’t even attempt to flip for at least 5 minutes. When done to your liking, remove burgers and top with a generous amount of shredded Gouda.
Serve on toasted buns with barbecue sauce to taste.
