In a bowl, combine ground beef, green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Form into 4 even patties.
2. Cook the Burgers
Heat a skillet, grill, or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side for medium (adjust to desired doneness).
Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
3. Assemble the Burgers
Toast buns lightly.
Place lettuce (if using) on the bottom bun, add the cheeseburger, then top with tomato, onion, and your preferred condiments.
Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
💡 Tips
For a spicier kick, use roasted hatch chiles or add a pinch of cayenne to the beef.
Mix finely chopped onions or jalapeños into the patty for extra flavor.
Serve with crispy fries or sweet potato wedges for a full meal.
I can also give you a quick stovetop version where the burgers are juicy, cheesy, and green chile-packed in under 15 minutes. Do you want me to share that?
