“I’ve never gotten so many compliments on something I’ve made! My girlfriends could not get enough. Going to be making this recipe quite often I’m sure!”

Introduction

Green Chile Cheeseburgers are a mouthwatering twist on the classic American burger. Infused with the smoky, spicy flavor of roasted green chiles and topped with melted cheese, they offer a perfect balance of heat and savory goodness. These burgers are ideal for summer cookouts, cozy family dinners, or when you simply want a burger that stands out from the ordinary.

Ingredients

For the Burgers:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
½ cup roasted green chiles, chopped
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toppings:

4 slices of cheddar or pepper jack cheese
4 burger buns
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Red onion slices
Pickles (optional)
Mayonnaise, mustard, or your favorite sauce

Optional for Extra Flavor:

Jalapeños, sliced
Avocado slices

Instructions

Prep the Green Chiles:
Roast fresh green chiles over an open flame or under a broiler until blackened. Peel, remove seeds, and chop finely.
Make the Patties:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, roasted green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently—do not overwork the meat. Form into 4 equal patties.
Cook the Burgers:
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the Buns:
Lightly butter the buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble:
Spread mayonnaise or your chosen sauce on the buns. Place the burger patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, then add lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and avocado if using. Top with the other half of the bun.

Method Notes

Juicy Burgers: Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to keep them juicy.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of green chiles depending on your tolerance for heat.
Cheese: Pepper jack adds an extra kick, while cheddar keeps it mild.
