Swiss Cheese slices
Pepperjack cheese slices
Kosher salt
Fresh ground black pepper

Directions:
1. For the burgers, divide the meat into even portions and form into patties.
2. Press your thumb into the bottom of each patty, making a little “dimple”–this will keep your burger nice and flat when it cooks.
3. Season with salt and pepper.
4. For 3/4″ patties, grill over direct medium heat (350-450F) for 10-12 minutes.
5. During the last few minutes of grilling, add a spoonful of the diced Hatch Chiles on top of the hamburger patty.
6. Place one slice of Swiss and Pepperjack cheese on top of the Hatch Chiles and melt.

Zinfandel Wine
This Hatch Chile Hamburger recipe goes great with red wine. I personally love Zinfandels when I eat red meat hamburgers. Zinfandels tend to have flavors of blackberry, raspberry, spicy character or even jammy which are a perfect accompaniment to this dish.
