Green Chile Cheeseburgers
What you need:
- 2 lbs. ground chuck (80% lean 20% fat)
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. ground pepper
- 8 slices Provolone
- 4 good-quality hamburger buns (I must remember this next time)
- Toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, pickled jalapenos, etc.
Green Chili Sauce:
- 2 poblanos, grilled, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 1 medium white onion, grilled and chopped
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tbsp. fresh oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
Directions:
- Fire up your grill and get your poblanos and onion on as soon as you can. Meanwhile, place the rest of the ingredients for the chili sauce into your blender.
- While the veggies are grilling, form your meat into four patties and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove veggies and chop them up. Place in blender and blend until smooth.
- Add burgers to the grill - char on both sides until desired doneness.
- Place 2 slices of Provolone on each burger and close the lid or cover with foil. Cook until cheese has melted, about 1 minute.
- Serve burgers topped with a few tbsp. of chile sauce, lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapeno, etc.
