Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into two patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Burgers

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Green Chiles and Cheese

    Once the patties are nearly cooked through, top each patty with diced green chiles and a mixture of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, you can toast the burger buns in a separate pan or under a broiler until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the cheesy patties on the toasted bun halves. Top with slices of fresh tomato.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the open-faced burgers immediately, garnished with additional green chiles or tomatoes if desired.
