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.
