This green chile burger is one of my favorite things to eat! It is piled high with amazingly delicious toppings and the burger itself is incredibly tasty. You can’t go wrong with this!
Here in NM, we serve green chile on everything and since moving here it has become one of my favorite foods. It takes burgers to the next level always- but all the other toppings on this burger make it taste out of this world good!
I love the combination of a runny egg, the sweet potato and the amazing burger. Not to mention the cheese with the pickles and the onion. Okay I really love everything about this burger. Have I said that enough?
Where to get green chile?
I use green chile that I bought back during harvest time in October. We had it roasted and then I peeled, chopped and froze it. Last year we bought 40lbs so we would have enough to last us until next harvest. We take our green chile seriously here! Most of the chile is the famous Hatch green chile (grown in Hatch, NM amazingly enough), but people grow green chile all over NM and they all claim to be the best! I love trying chile from different regions.
If you can’t find yummy fresh green chile have no fear! Many stores now carry it in the frozen section at their grocery store or if you don’t have that option there is always the canned kind.
This hamburger is not only a feast for the eyes but is satisfying in every way! I made these when we had some friends coming over and everyone loved them. They can get a little messy with the runny egg, but it is 100% worth it! Serve it up with some chips or this easy pasta salad and you are good to go!

Recipe Notes
*I find it easiest to mix everything with my hands, but if you have a stand mixer that will work fine too!
Wow, 40 lbs of green chiles would last me years and I do love the hot stuff! These burger toppings sound perfect!
When I first moved here it seemed like so much too! Now, every year I wonder if it’s enough haha!
Making my mouth water although I’m not sure I could fit this whopper of a burger in my mouth – but I’m willing to try!
Thank you! It is a challenge, but one that is worth the try! It definitely is a messy burger, at least when I eat it haha!
Wow I love all the toppings in this burger, mouthwatering!
Thanks! It sure is fun to eat!
You top your burger the same way I do – with EVERYTHING! But if I can’t have everything on it, I at least have to have pickle, that’s a must. This looks so crazy good. 🙂
Yes! The more the better when it comes to good toppings. And pickles are pretty much a must! Great minds think alike!
A big yes to everything about this burger! I LOVE that you have an egg in there too!
A fried egg makes everything so much better!
This burger is to-die-for. I love all the toppings. Nothing beats homemade burgers!
I totally agree! Sometimes I smoke them and other times grill! But even pan fried is super yummy!
I love green chiles, but I don’t think I could eat 40 lbs in a year! But maybe I would in NM, as you said. 🙂 This burger looks INSANE, I would love to stuff my face into it right now, however it looks IMPOSSIBLE to eat, haha! (And that’s the way a burger should be) Again – YUM!
They are insane! We just squish them down and go at them haha! It can get pretty messy, but it tastes sooooo good!
