The Ultimate Double Double Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger

Ingredients

• 1 - 2 Hatch green chiles
• neutral oil
• 1 tbsp butter (room temp)
• 1 brioche burger bun
• 1/3 lbs ground beef chuck
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 slices American cheese
• 1 slice tomato
• 1 leaf green leaf lettuce
• 1-2 thin slices onion
• mustard (to taste)
• mayo (to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Lightly coat the chiles with the tiniest bit of oil and roast under the broiler until deeply golden, almost black, about 10-12 minutes, flipping once.

2. 2

   When roasted, place in a paper or plastic bag, close, and let peppers steam for 10 minutes. Skin, seed, and stem the peppers, then chop.

3. 3

   Divide the meat into 2 equal portions and gently form very thin patties larger than your bun. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Butter and lightly toast the bun in a dry pan over medium heat. Remove from the pan and set aside, keeping warm in a low oven if desired.

5. 5

   Heat up a large pan over medium high-heat and add a bit of oil to the pan. When hot, add the patties and cook, without moving for 2 to 3 minutes, or until caramelized, pressing down. Flip and cook for another minute or so.

6. 6

   When the patties are just about done cooking, immediately with a slice of American cheese and a generous amount of the roasted Hatch green chiles.

7. 7

   Build the burger: the bottom bun gets mayo and mustard to taste, then lettuce, tomato, and onion. Top with the two melty, green chile patties and the top bun. Enjoy immediately.
