Homemade Ortega Cheeseburger
Grilled cheeseburgers are a regular on my summertime menu. Nothing beats the smell of burgers on the barbeque!
And, melty cheese is absolutely necessary! I used Pepper Jack cheese slices to compliment the green chile flavor.
This Green Chile Cheeseburger Recipe is a dish I used to make way back when I worked in a bar and grill at a fishing resort. That was my jack of all trades job. I was the bartender, waitress, cook, bouncer, cashier and busboy! I sure don’t miss that job. But I do miss the tasty food!
This Green Chile Cheeseburger was the most popular menu item. For good reason . . . it is Amazing!
This cheeseburger is not complicated. It doesn’t need to be.
A juicy burger, toasted bun, melted Kraft Pepper Jack Cheese, grilled whole green chile and a generous dollop of Mayo.
That’s it. Simple, delicious and uncomplicated.
Have I mentioned that I am working on my grill skills!?!
I never claimed to be a grill master. Can you say Flame Broiled!!!
Don’t worry, I didn’t burn down the neighborhood or anything.
See, we got the flames under control.
Back to the Green Chile Cheeseburger Recipe. Buns, burgers and chiles on the grill.

- Grill burger patties for 3-5 minutes, until brown and slightly charred on one side. Do not press down on patties.

Hahaha glad you didn’t burn down the neighborhood 😉 Looks like your grill skills are pretty awesome! These burgers rock!
Thanks Chris! I always count it as a successful grilling experience when I do not light any houses on fire. SUCCESS!
This looks so delicious…you were doing some serious grilling in that one picture! Two thumbs up for awesomeness! 🙂
Haha, thanks David! I’m grill-challenged … but working on it. 🙂
I make something similar to this, but I add caramelized onions, guacamole and make the mayo into chipotle mayo by mixing it with a bit of pureed canned chipotle. Yum!
Sounds delicious, Debbie! I’m all for adding caramelized onions to just about anything 😉
Ummm….I WANT!!! These looks so delicious. Thanks for sharing! #client
Thanks Kristy!
