SmHATCHburgers

Continuing on with the Hatch Chile theme, today I made SmHATCHburgers.



85/15 ground beef was as fatty as I could get. Seasoned the patties with S&P and put one slice of American cheese and about 2 chiles worth of diced peppers on each double smash burger. Yum.

My goodness! The burger threads on here lately have been phenomenal. What a great addition to the list. Well done.

'tis the season, I am doing these tonight. How'd you prepared the Chili's? Roasted and diced?

Those look OUTSTANDING!  Looks like you got an excellent sear on your burgers for a great crunch and added flavor.

Put the chiles over direct head on the BGE at about 400F. They will crackle and pop. You want to blister the skins. After about 5 minutes per side, they should be blackened and soft. Put them in a bag/box and seal with plastic wrap. This will steam the skins and make them easier to peel. Wait about 15 minutes, then peel.

Peel off the skins (you may want to use gloves, I didn't). Either cut or rip off the stems. Squeeze the peppers between two fingers from the pointy end to the open top end to remove seeds.

Don't rinse under cold water as some people suggest. This will wash away the oil which contains much of the flavor. Better to have a few errant seeds as they don't hurt anything.

Dice em up. They are a bit slimy so be gentle. You don't want to tear as much as slice/dice.

Put in ziplock bags (I did about 2oz per bag), remove excess air, and put extras in the freezer.

They thaw out in a few minutes on the counter.

I'm not a fan of peppers, but I would gobble up one of those bad boys in a heartbeat.
