  • Опубликовано: 2 май 2024
  • In the Season Finale of Burger Scholar Sessions, George Motz is teaching you how to cook four regional smashburgers: the Wisconsin butter burger, the New Mexico green chile burger, the Michigan olive burger, and the Montana nutburger. Sometimes regional burgers are defined by a singular topping-and as George shows us, that one topping can be incredible. Keep up with Motz as he guides us through a speed round of regional toppings!

      When he was making that. I was thinking about my wife's delicious green chili hamburger cheese dip. One pound of hamburger browned in a slow cooker on high, add one packet of taco seasoning, one cup jar of cheese whiz, one package of cream cheese , 2 oz of green chilies chopped, meltin stir together, reduce heat to simmer or less. The longer you let it simmer the more the flavors Mingle. Just before serving with taco chips, cut fresh squeaky cheese (cheese curds) into smaller chunks and mix into the pot. That makes my mouth water!!!!! If there are not a lot of people at the party eating it, it's like Lay's potato chips for me. I will sit and eat until the pot is empty!

    *I posted this a few weeks ago when he made the green Chile cheeseburger in a different video. I thought I'd leave it here as well.*
    I'm from New Mexico, born and raised, and I'm surprised at how accurate these burgers were.
    We ALWAYS try to cover the entire patty with green Chile.
    Some quick cultural learnings from someone who has lived in NM for 30 years:
    1. Native New Mexicans rarely call our green chile "Hatch" chile, mainly because chile is ubiquitous in NM and we do not tend to differentiate the location. Although, as Colorado pushes their green chile into the mainstream, this has been changing over the years. I still wouldn't count on a native New Mexican to say "hatch chile". Most people who eat NM Chile have never even been to Hatch.
    2. Depending on where you are in New Mexico (north or south), our xxxhot batch is usually called "lumbre" or "barker". You can get any type of batch in ALL parts of New Mexico, from mild to xxxhot. I usually buy a bushel of hot (usually called "Sandia") and a half bushel of xxxhot ("lumbre", or "Barker") and mix the different peppers 2:1. This makes for a delicious taste with a really intense heat.
    3 As the green chile ripens, the green chiles turn into red. We make a delicious red Chile sauce, with these peppers, in NM. In MOST locations, you can ask for a mix of green and red Chile called "Christmas". This is what I order every time I eat out. In fact, the official state question is: "red or green?".
    4. Finally, off the top of my head, some of my favorite restaurants that serve GREAT green chile cheeseburgers: "Sparkys" (hatch, NM)," Blake's Lotaburger" (All of NM), "Days" (Las Cruces, NM) "Laguna Burger", "owl cafe", "frontier"(ABQ, NM), "The Burger Stand" (Taos, NM).
    Thank you for representing our New Mexican cuisine!

    Pro Tips for everyone wanting to cook Green Chile Cheeseburgers at home: season your chopped chile with garlic and onion and it’ll taste infinitely better. You don’t have to cook it in water/stock as it’s already cooked when it’s roasted. And make sure to peel the skin off of it! If you don’t it’ll be like you have a bunch of little pieces of bitter paper or plastic mixed in. And only use “New Mexico” green chile - “New Mexico Chile” means the specific type/subspecies of chile that it is, not just where it’s grown - if you use others they won’t taste the same at all, and avoid “Anaheim Chile” because even though it’s technically from the New Mexico Chile cultivar, it tastes very different and nobody uses it here in NM, though it still tastes good and will give you a nice slightly sour taste.

      Why? Portion control. Exercise does help, but unless you are fairly serious athlete, it alone will not prevent the kind of ridiculous obesity seen at the average Walmart. Due to the pandemic, I was temporarily laid off twice this past year (first time I haven had a job for for almost 30 years). The most exercise I got between the end of October and last Thursday, when I we finally reopened, was walking a few steps to my mailbox. My apartment is on the ground floor, so it didn’t even involve stairs. I wasn’t obese to start with, and I lost weight, because I ate healthier at home than at work (where I cook for a living). While mostly laying in bed and watching Netflix and RUclips. Nothing wrong with a butter burger, you just can’t eat one every day, and it helps to control what else you eat that day. Actually, even if you ate one every day, but the rest of your diet consisted of things like kale, spinach, and other greens, whole grains, seeds, nuts, fruits, and other vegetables, you can still loose weight. Although with all that beef and butter every day, risk of heart disease might still be increased.
