I fell in love with these things while stationed at Kirtland AFB, they are a New Mexico specialty and my favorite burger.  Green chile peppers (hopefully from Hatch) are roasted in a large, rotating basket until the skins are charred black, the chiles are poured into a plastic garbage bag to steam for a couple hours, then the blackened skins slide off and the peppers are frozen.  There is a restaurant in Salt Lake City that gets a couple semi-truck loads of the chiles end of every summer, and I get a bushel every year to keep me happy.  I added some porcini powder and fish sauce to the raw hamburger for some umami, and cooked 'em raised direct with some Jack Daniels barrel chips.  Yum!

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I like it. I've had a few burgers like that as well. Haven't had one in a while. When I was stationed at Ft. Carson, we would go get Anaheim peppers for salsa. The smell of the peppers rotating in the basket as the weed burner roast them is amazing.

    Yup, I worked there from '97 to '99 (I really was a rocket scientist!)  The place is a ghost of its old self now that both the Shuttle program and the Minuteman III PRP program are done.

    @Botch‌ My wife grew up in Taos, NM(& also in Pueblo, CO) and she still has family there. Green Hatch Chile is a real staple. We had some shipped fresh from family to us here in FL a few yrs ago. We roasted them etc and froze for future usage. Sadly we are out now. So, we have to resort to canned Hatch (it's ok but, not as good as fresh of course). We have used them on burgers, dogs, brats, sausage, smothered burritos, stuffed Chile rellenos, and I like them plain or with a lil slice of melted pepperjack cheese. My wife was telling my that when she was a kid and worked at the Sonic in Taos area they sold a Burger w/ Hatch. Awesome stuff! Looks great @Botch‌

    The majority of my chile goes into a sauce for Huevos Rancheros: a fried corn tortilla topped with a couple fried eggs, the chile sauce, topped with cheese, and under the broiler for a moment.  Sides of fried chorizo, hashbrowns, and a flour tortilla make a damn fine breakfast.  
    ;)

    Thanks! Very good to know this. I would make the trip for some fresh Hatch even though this is close to 150-200mi round trip. It would be well worth the smile it would put on my gals face :-)
