Green Chile Cheeseburger

Well, I finally feel like we are starting to get some decent summer weather, so here’s a great burger recipe! Or should I say Cheeseburger recipe. I love a juicy burger. When I was pregnant, I only had a “gotta have it now or someone is going to die” craving twice. And one of those times, it was for a burger. {God bless Wendy’s!}

I just love burgers.

Actually, in college, there was this tiny town an hour away with a sports bar in it that had AMAZING burgers and onion rings. I only ever went there three times because it was so good, but oh so bad. But delicious. And gut busting. {*If ever you are driving through Driggs, Idaho, make sure you stop at O’Rourkes!}

I have a burger problem. And an onion ring addiction {Thanks a lot, Sonic!}.

I’m addicted to a lot of things….

Something else that falls under that category: mild green chiles.{Random, right?!} I love their flavor. So, I made these for dinner the other night and I fell in love. {Since my husband is not around, I just have too much extra love to give.}

If I could have changed anything, however, it would be to add more cheese and more green chiles. Go figure.

So, give these a whirl. Make sure you load on the cheese and the sauce. They are well worth it! 🙂 Promise.

Instructions

• Preheat outdoor grill to medium high.
• In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together for the burger patties. Divide into 4 even balls and form into patties with a slight depression in the middle for even cooking time. Grill burgers about 5 minutes per side or until done to your liking. Once you flip your patties once, top with a slice of cheese and cover to melt. Toast buns in the last two minutes of cooking, if desired. Remove everything from grill.
• In a small bowl, stir together green chiles and enchilada sauce. Microwave to warm and set aside.
• Build burger by topping cheeseburger with lots of green chile sauce and any other desired toppings.
