GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGERS



Green Chile Cheeseburgers image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 serrano chiles
2 Anaheim chiles
2 poblano chiles
1 Vidalia onion, peeled and roughly chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice of 1 lime
Canola oil, for grilling
2 pounds ground brisket (80/20 blend)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 large brioche hamburger buns
2 tablespoons butter, melted
8 white Cheddar slices
4 butter lettuce leaves
1 Vidalia onion, thickly sliced
1 large heirloom tomato, thickly sliced
Mayonnaise, for serving, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Begin by making the green chile salsa: Place the chiles on a roasting tray with the garlic and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper and cumin and then place under the broiler to cook, 5 to 7 minutes. Once the skins have blistered and the onions have slightly charred around the edges, remove from the oven. Let cool slightly, then remove and discard the skins of the large chiles, along with the seeds and stems. Place the chile flesh, onions and garlic in a food processor. Add the lime juice and pulse 5 to 6 times to roughly chop the vegetables up; do not over chop as you want the salsa to be chunky and still have lots of texture where you can see pieces of the chile. Taste and season once more, then set aside as you prepare the burgers.
  • For the burgers: Preheat an outdoor grill and wipe down the grates with an oil-blotted paper towel. This not only cleans the grill but creates a nonstick surface.
  • Form the ground brisket into four 8-ounce patties about 1/2-inch thick. Make them slightly bigger in diameter than your buns, as they shrink when they cook. Also, add a dimple in the center as the burger puffs up in the middle when cooked, and this will ensure a flat, even patty. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, and then place on the hot part of the grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, then flip the patties and top with the cheese. Close the grill or place a metal bowl over the top to melt the cheese and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Cut open the hamburger buns and lightly toast on the grill.
  • To assemble, place the lettuce, onion and tomato on the base of the burger bun. Top with a grilled patty and place a heaping spoonful of roasted green chile salsa on top. Smear the top burger bun with mayo, if desired, and place the top half of the burger bun on top. Serve.

CHEESY GREEN CHILI SNACKS



Cheesy Green Chili Snacks image

These are terrific little cheesy flat biscuit like snacks. Some people call them crackers. I do not remember where I got this recipe, but I make it quite often and they always go fast at our church gatherings. I use Louisiana hot sauce in mine, but I think any kind of hot sauce would work. I hope you like them as much as we do. They are good right out of the oven or a day or two later. I like to cook them until they are good and brown so they will get a little bit of a crunch along with the chewy. I am not sure about the serving size because these are an appetizer or snack.

GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGER DELUXE



Green Chile Cheeseburger Deluxe image

In New Mexico, where many traditional dishes contain roasted green chiles, it's only natural that hamburgers get the chile treatment, too. If you don't have access to fresh New Mexican green chiles, try fresh Anaheim chiles. Lacking those, use roasted jalapeños that have been peeled and chopped; thinly sliced raw jalapeños; or pickled jalapeños - a compromise perhaps, but better than no chiles at all. As for cheese, any good melting kind of "queso amarillo" will do, but domestic Monterey Jack or Muenster may be even better.

Categories     dinner, lunch, burgers, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium white onion, diced small, soaked in ice water 10 minutes and drained
2 medium firm-ripe tomatoes or 6 plum tomatoes, diced
Salt, to taste
1 Serrano chile, finely chopped
Handful of chopped cilantro
4 to 6 fresh New Mexico green or Anaheim chiles
24 ounces ground beef or ground buffalo meat
Salt and pepper
8 slices Monterey Jack or Muenster
4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted
1 or 2 avocados, in thick slices

Steps:

  • Make the salsa: In a medium bowl, mix together onion, tomato, salt, Serrano chile and cilantro. This salsa tastes best when it's fresh, so don't set aside for too long.
  • Prepare a charcoal barbecue or light the broiler. When hot, roast the chiles.
  • Place chiles on a rack very close to the glowing coals, or on a baking sheet quite close to broiler flames. Using tongs, turn chiles occasionally until they are completely black and blistered all over. Alternatively, roast over stovetop flames. Set roasted chiles aside for a few minutes until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut each chile in half lengthwise, then scrape away skins and seeds with a pairing knife. Do not rinse: A few bits of char are fine. Wipe chile "fillets" with a paper towel if you wish. Slice cleaned chiles lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips and set aside. (It's fine to roast chiles in advance, even a day or two ahead.)
  • Divide ground meat into 6-ounce balls, and press them into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Season patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • If grilling over coals, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger's juices start appearing. Move burgers to a cooler spot on the grill and let cheese continue to melt.
  • If cooking on stovetop, heat a cast-iron pan or ridged grill pan over high heat. When hot, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger juices start appearing. Turn off heat and let cheese continue to melt, or place pan under broiler.
  • Place a cheeseburger on the bottom half of each bun. Adorn each burger generously with strips of roasted chile. Top the burgers with buns and serve immediately, accompanied by avocado slices and tomato salsa.

Tips:

  • To make the cheese ball more flavorful, use a variety of cheeses. A good combination is cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • If you want a spicier cheese ball, add more green chilies or use a hotter variety.
  • To make the cheese ball easier to roll, chill it for at least 30 minutes before shaping it.
  • If you are using chopped nuts or bacon in your cheese ball, toast them before adding them. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Serve the cheese ball with crackers, vegetables, or bread.

Conclusion:

The green chili cheese ball is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese and it can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it spicy or mild, the green chili cheese ball is sure to be a hit.
