September 29th is National Good Neighbor Day, so breakout your culinary skills, get to grillin’, and invite them over for a patio party. We brought the heat by kicking up the spice on traditional burger recipe for this edition of our Recipe of the Month.
Green Chili Cheeseburger
Ingredients
2 lb. ground chuck
1 tbsp. , plus 1½ tsp. chile powder
1 1⁄2 tsp. ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground blackpepper, to taste
1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. ketchup
4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed to a paste
2 tbsp. canola oil
6 roasted green chiles, peeled, stemmed, seeded, and roughly chopped
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 brioche buns, split and toasted
Instructions
In a bowl, combine chuck, 1 tbsp. chile powder, cumin, and salt and pepper; form into four 8-oz. patties and chill. Whisk remaining chile powder, mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic, and salt and pepper in a small bowl; refrigerate sauce until needed.
Heat oil in a 12″ cast-iron skillet over medium heat; working in 2 batches, cook patties, turning once, until a thick crust develops on both sides, about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Top each with ¼ of roasted chiles and 1 slice of each cheese; cover with lid to melt cheese. To serve, place 1 patty on each bottom bun and spread top buns with some of the sauce. Cover burgers with top bun and serve immediately.
These burgers can be prepared on the grill as well.
Have a project in mind?
We work throughout the Houston and Dallas - Fort Worth areas.
We are very happy we chose Texas Custom Patios to build our dream patio/outdoor kitchen. Our project manager, Ryan, really listened to what we wanted and grasped our vision immediately. He was actively involved in the process from start to finish. Every question or concern was addressed immediately. We were part of every decision along the way, and were pleased with the flexibility of the process. Ryan had a positive “can do” attitude that was much appreciated through out. The various work crews were professional and always left the work site as clean as possible at the end of the day. The final product is absolutely breathtaking!
