Ingredients

For the Burgers:

  • 2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 tsp Pepper
  • 6 Hamburger Buns
  • 6 slices American Cheese

For the Green Chile Topping:

  • 2 Hatch Green Chiles or Poblano Peppers
  • 1 Tablespoons Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut each of the poblano peppers in half and remove the seeds. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the poblano peppers cut side down on the baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until the skins of the peppers are blackened slightly. Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Once you can touch the peppers, remove the skins and dice them into small pieces and set aside.
  • Divide the ground beef into 6 even balls (approximately ⅓ lb each). Then form the balls into patties that are approximately 4 inches wide and 1 inch thick.  Place the patties in the refrigerator (covered in plastic wrap) while you preheat the grill.
  • Preheat the Grill over medium high heat (approximately 450-500 degrees Fahrenheit). Rub oil on the grill grates to prevent the patties from sticking to the grill.
  • Place the patties on the grill over direct heat.  Season the patties with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for 4-8 minutes (flipping the patties halfway through the cook time) depending on how you like your burger cooked (see notes).  Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the burgers are cooked to your preference.
  • Place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt and place the buns on the grill and cook for 1 minute until they are browned slightly.  Watch them closely so that they do not burn.
  • Remove the beef from the grill and place them on a burger.  Top with the diced green chiles.
  • Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
