Photo: Green Chile Cheeseburgers Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground chuck, 80 percent to 85 percent lean
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 thin slices Chihuahua or provolone
- 4 good-quality hamburger buns, toasted
- Green Chili Sauce, recipe follows
- Romaine lettuce leaves, optional
- 4 thick slices beefsteak tomatoes, optional
- Pickled jalapenos, optional
Directions
Heat grill to high. Form meat into 4 (8-ounce) burgers and season each burger on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to desired doneness.
Place 2 slices of the cheese on each burger, close the lid or tent with foil, and cook until the cheese has just melted, about 1 minute. Place burgers on buns and top with a few tablespoons of Green Chile Sauce and lettuce, tomato, and pickled jalapeno, if desired.
Green Chile Sauce:
- 2 poblano chiles, grilled, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 1 medium white onion, grilled and chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh epazote, or fresh oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

The burger was moist. Bobby usually likes a bit of sweetness in his chile sauces but not me. I think the next time I make this I'll add more heat and skip the honey.

Don't know what this is. A Green Chile burger is ground beef patty cooked on a grill with a slice of you guessed it Green Chile that has also been cooked on the grill. You can add cheese to it. Order your Chiles from Hatch New Mexico, just google it. I had my first green chile burger in Red River New Mexico and it was like nothing I've ever had. I like Flay but he always tries to make one thing into something else.
