In this new episode of Fresh Chile Cookin’, Randy shows how to make a Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger using our Freeze-Dried Hatch Green Chile. This product is picked fresh from the farm, roasted, chopped, and freeze-dried to lock in flavor, color, and aroma for years. A quick splash of water brings the chile back to life, making it perfect for mixing into your burger patty and layering on top.
Along the way, Randy also shares the history of the Hatch Green Chile Cheeseburger, first created in Santa Fe in 1952 by Stanley “Bud” Chiles.
Now it is your turn to make one at home.
