Hey there, grill masters and burger enthusiasts! Are you ready to take your taste buds on a wild ride? Get ready for the Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger – the burger that’s so good, it’ll make you forget all about those basic burgers you’ve been grilling. We’re talking juicy beef patties, gooey melted cheese, and just the right amount of heat from those delicious Hatch green chiles. But let’s be real, no burger is complete without the perfect grilling setup. And that’s where U-Haul propane comes in. Because let’s face it, running out of propane in the middle of cooking is like running out of gas on a road trip. It’s just not fun. So trust me, with U-Haul propane refill and exchange services, you’ll never have to worry about that again. You can focus on grilling up the perfect burger and impress all your friends and family with your culinary skills. So let’s fire up that grill, grab a cold one, and let’s get cooking!
Ingredients:
- 6 hatch green chile peppers, or Anaheim
- 1 cup diced roasted green chiles (from 6 peppers, above)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 pound 80% lean ground beef
- 8 slices jack cheese
- 4 fresh hamburger buns
- salt and pepper
- (Optional) Burger toppings: ketchup, sliced tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise
Instructions:
- Preheat the broiler. Lay your chile peppers on a sheet pan in a single layer. (It is not necessary to grease the pan.)
- Place the peppers under the broiler about an inch from the element and broil, rotating with tongs every minute or two, until all sides are charred and blistered. Keep a close eye; the broiler works quickly.
- Place the peppers in a paper bag. Fold the bag tightly closed, and let the hot, blistered peppers steam for about 10 minutes.
- Use your fingers or the back of a knife to scrape or peel the skins from the flesh of the roasted peppers. Split the peppers open with a sharp knife. Scrape away any seeds, and slice and dice the peppers.
- Divide the beef into four patties. Generously salt the top and bottom of each, and let them rest on the countertop to rise a little in temperature.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil. Cook the onions, frequently stirring, until translucent and a light, caramelized brown, about 15 minutes. Add the chile peppers and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
- Cook the burgers as you like on a grill.
PRO TIP: In the last minute of cooking, spoon a tablespoon or so of the onion and chile pepper mix onto the patty, then top with a slice or two of cheese. Finish cooking, allowing the cheese to melt on the burger.
Place each patty on a bun. If desired, top with a little more green chile and serve with your favorite fixings.
Enjoy!
