Green Chile Cheeseburgers
Ingredients:
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 lb ground beef sirloin (90% lean)
- ¾ lb ground beef chuck (80% lean)
- 6 slices American or cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup jarred or canned roasted diced green chiles (preferably Hatch), drained
- 6 brioche hamburger buns, split and toasted
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef sirloin and ground beef chuck. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly larger than the buns.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on one side.
4. Flip the patties and immediately top each with a slice of cheese and a generous spoonful of roasted green chiles.
5. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Place each patty on a toasted brioche bun and serve immediately.
