Ingredients

For the Burgers:

  • 2 pounds Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 1 ½ tsp Salt
  • ¾ tsp Pepper
  • 6 Hamburger Buns
  • 6 slices American Cheese

For the Green Chile Topping:

  • 2 Hatch Green Chiles or Poblano Peppers
  • 1 Tablespoons Oil
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut the poblano peppers in half and remove the seeds. Place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and the garlic powder.
  • Roast for about 15 minutes, or until the skins are lightly blackened and blistered. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel off the skins, dice the peppers, and set aside.
  • Divide the ground beef into 6 equal portions, about ? pound each. Shape each portion into a patty approximately 4 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Cover and refrigerate while the grill preheats.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 450–500°F. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • Place the patties on the grill over direct heat. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
  • Grill for about 4–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Place one slice of American cheese on each patty during the final minute of cooking. Place the buns cut-side down on the grill and toast for about 1 minute, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Place each burger on a toasted bun and top with the diced roasted poblano peppers.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

For food safety, cook ground beef burgers to an internal temperature of 160°F. Use an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of each patty to check for doneness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
