The divine food that is… The Green Chile Burger

My family and I were hungry. We were on our way home from the Rocky Mountain Air Show and, because we live out in the middle of nowhere (a fact that is swiftly changing, but not changed quite yet), I insisted on doing the grocery shopping on the way home. Armed with our reusable bags and bulk containers, we headed for our regular grocery haunt, Sunflower Market. Being a Colorado company with fresh foods and seasonal selections, they (naturally) have a selection of green chile products available at the meat counter.

We could not contain ourselves. We had the butcher (is that the appropriate name for the guy standing behind the meat counter???) wrap up some pork & green chile sausage and some freshly made green chile burgers.

We got home and fired up the grill. The green chile burgers were DIVINE! They are mixed with Monterrey jack cheese and spices, but the green chile was delightfully flavorful. We served it up with a side of chile lime cucumbers and fried green tomato slices. YUM!
