We've ordered various green chili products. From chopped, stew, enchilada's, tamales and rellono's. Its slways fresh (even after freezing).
Lyle P · Verified
Tastes great. Good to have on hand when you want to make a quick salsa, or throw in eggs, or a quick chili verde meal. Next time ill get the hot! For me but my husbund likes the taste and prefers it a little less hot then me.
Stephanie C · Verified
Excellent product. The green chili (mild) tastes fresh and delicious. I eat it with or in so many of my meals. I lived for many years in New Mexico and then Arizona after being born and raised in Michigan. That is where I discovered green chilies, absolutely loved them. Still do, but now I can buy green chilies where ever I am in the USA. I find Hatch brand to be the best.

Jarred green chilies assures you that you will never be without.

I used to order the fresh green chiie from Hatch To here in Florida and roast it on the grill. Since then I saw the ads from you for the product in jars. I tried six jars last year and loved it. I since reordered and I'm good for another year. I was at t he Chile festival in w016 and really enjoyed it.i have enjoyed your Chile for the past 66 years. Thank you

Thank you Hatch people!! I got 1st place with my Hatch green chili. I’d share the Vera Cruz recipe!

The green chile cheeseburger is New Mexico's official state burger — and arguably its greatest contribution to American food culture. Born at San Antonio NM's Owl Bar in the 1940s, it's just a smashed-patty cheeseburger crowned with chopped roasted Hatch green chile — but the chile makes everything. Once you've had a real one, every other burger feels naked.

This collection is everything you need to build a green chile cheeseburger at home: roasted Hatch green chile (frozen or fresh in season), Hatch green chile sauce, chile-infused powders for rubs, and bundles that get you everything in one order. Throw the cheese and the patty yourself — we'll handle the chile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a green chile cheeseburger different from a regular burger?
It's a smashed-patty cheeseburger crowned with chopped roasted Hatch green chile. The chile melts into the cheese, adds smokiness, and gives the burger a layer of flavor that bare beef and cheese can't reach. Once you've had a real one, regular burgers feel flat.
What kind of green chile should I use?
Roasted Hatch green chile — frozen (year-round) or fresh (Aug–Oct). Avoid 'green chile' from generic spice aisles or jars labeled 'hatch-style' — they're typically not actual Hatch chile. For best texture, chop the chile to a rough mince so it sits evenly on the patty.
How much green chile per burger?
About 2 tablespoons of chopped roasted chile per burger — roughly half a 1-pound bag stretches across 8 burgers. More if you like it chile-forward.
Can I make it ahead?
The chile can be thawed and chopped a day ahead and refrigerated. Cook the patties fresh — the burger should be hot when the chile and cheese hit it for the cheese to melt properly.
Cheese — what's traditional?
Sharp cheddar or pepper jack are classic in New Mexico. Some places use American (Owl Bar in San Antonio NM uses American, the originator). Avoid 'fancy' cheeses (gruyere, brie, etc.) — they fight the chile flavor.

We know you're wondering.

Hatch Chile is a protected regional designation — like Champagne or Vidalia onions — for chile grown exclusively in the Hatch Valley of southern New Mexico. The valley's mineral-rich Rio Grande soil, 300+ days of intense sunshine, and 40-degree temperature swings between day and night are why Hatch chile tastes like nowhere else. Most "green chile" in grocery stores is Anaheim — a milder, less complex pepper mass-produced in California or Mexico. All of our products are Hatch Chile Association certified, meaning they were grown in the Hatch Valley, not relabeled from another region.

Frozen products ship on Tuesdays or Wednesdays according to the destination ZIP and service. Economy generally takes 1–3 business days by ZIP in the lower 48; Alaska and Hawaii are Overnight only. Fresh chile ships on Wednesdays during harvest, by Overnight service only. Fresh chile ships unrefrigerated and normally arrives at outdoor temperature. Check the shipping guide and fresh chile product page for current availability and expected dates.

We recommend Mild for first-timers, because fresh and frozen chile can't be returned or exchanged if the heat isn't for you. Medium is our most popular heat level — it has a pleasant, building warmth that lets you taste the signature smoky-sweet Hatch flavor without overwhelming heat. Mild is perfect for kids, spice-sensitive palates, or dishes like rellenos where you want flavor without the kick. Hot delivers the classic New Mexican heat that restaurants in Albuquerque and Santa Fe are known for. X-Hot is for serious heat seekers only. When in doubt, start Mild — you can always go hotter next time.

Roasted frozen Hatch chile has a 2-year shelf life at 0°F without significant quality loss — this is how most New Mexicans stockpile their annual supply and enjoy Hatch chile year-round. We recommend portioning into meal-sized bags and pressing out as much air as possible before freezing. Our jarred sauces, salsas, and dried products like red chile pods and powders are shelf-stable for 12–18 months in your pantry.

For frozen products like roasted chile, rellenos, tamales, and chimichangas: 2 items saves 20%, 3 saves 25%, and 4+ saves 30%. Mix and match anything within each collection — the more you stock, the more you save.

Every product we sell is Hatch Chile Association certified — your guarantee that the chile was grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, not Anaheim or imported chile relabeled under the Hatch name. Our family has farmed the Hatch Valley since 1917 when our great-great-grandfather Joseph Franzoy became the first commercial chile farmer in the region. Five generations later, we still farm 300+ acres and grow 10+ cultivar varieties including Big Jim, Sandia Select, and Lumbre. Over 500,000 customers and 12,000+ verified 5-star reviews — you're buying from the source.
