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.

Same as above. I am going to enjoy Hatch green chili but I really prefer Hot and it’s not hot.
Diane T · Verified
I love that I get to have green chile from Hatch anytime I want it. If I only use some of the jar I can refrigerate the rate or freeze it. I can use it all yr round. I used to but the chiles and roast them but now I don’t have to. I really love this brand.

Heidi P · Verified
We absolutely love this Hatch Chile! It’s great to be able to bring a little bit of our New Mexico roots all the way out here to Pennsylvania. The flavor, heat, and overall quality are right on point, and it’s exactly what we were hoping for. The only reason I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars is the price. At around $20 per pound, plus shipping, it gets pretty expensive. While we really enjoy the product, that price point will definitely make us think twice before placing another order. Great chile and great quality — just a little tough to justify at the current price.

I am from NM and always looking for places that sell authentic Hatch. I found this place and have used them several times. I have eaten NM Chile all my life, and sometimes the chile tastes different. I'm not sure, but it is different...Like the Big Jim is even smaller like Mexican chile, but they said it was Hatch. Also, like maybe it is how it is processed which I'm not really clear on. But I keep coming back. Usually they are pretty quick and a reasonable price, this last time they didn't have the boxes, but it was fine. I would recommend if your looking for some chile, this place is pretty good. The best is just bring it with you on the plane in a cooler back pack or 2!

Hatch chili has the best flavor

We lived in New Mexico for 10 wonderful years and now we can have the amazing Taste of Enchantment with us year round thanks to delivery from Hatch Chile Store. We do frozen green medium heat and they're just the right level inside enchiladas, stews, or casseroles. Our daughter is a heat-lover and prefers the hot. We ship her some for her birthday every year. She taught us how to make a seasoning mix with the dried green chile powder, cheddar popcorn powder, and shake like a flavor bomb over buttered popcorn. YUM! Thank you, Hatch Chile Store! The world would be less delicious without your deliveries!

The product arrived still frozen and my wife divided the packages up so we could have more for later. They were good stuffed, and great in her green chili and our friends down here were confused as they only thought chili was a meat dish. Unfortunately my wife passed away on June 14th this year and I won't be getting anymore product as she was also my cook.

O.M.G. this is STILL the best green chile in the whole world!! Hatch is the key, and I LOVE my frozen, skinned, chopped scrumptious green chile!!
jennifer M · Verified
The fhopped hot chile has great flavor and males my chile verde stew excellent. I add some of your hot green chile powder as well. Outstanding end result. There is more charred skin pieces is this shipment than those previously. Still, the best I have found. Way better than what I can find in the grocery.

These Chiles are always wonderful. I recommended them to my daughter. She bought 2 boxes: 1 medium, 1 hot. She loved the ones I brought her in July. You can’t beat the quality & the flavor.

I have used Hatch Green Chile for I believe 40 years. Nothing equals the awesome taste. I stay with basic enchiladas and burritos. I've never been disappointed. Even when first trying different recipes. Lave their 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.

All frozen products ship Tuesdays and Wednesdays in insulated, recyclable containers packed with dry ice. We ship from distribution centers in both New Jersey and California so ground shipping reaches most U.S. addresses in 1–5 business days — no matter where you live. Overnight shipping is available during warmer months. Fresh chile (available July–October) ships same-day on Wednesdays, arriving within 24 hours of harvest.

Medium is our most popular heat level and what we recommend for first-timers — 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 Medium — you can always go hotter next time.

Roasted frozen Hatch chile lasts 12+ months 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.

Yes — discounts apply automatically at checkout with no code needed. For pantry items like jarred chile, sauces, salsas, and spices: 3+ items saves 10% and 6+ items saves 15%. 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.
