Recipe: Wagyu Hatch Chile Bacon Cheeseburgers
Total Time: 35 minutes
Difficulty: Moderate
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 1½ lbs ground Wagyu beef (80/20 blend)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 fresh Hatch green chiles (or use roasted, peeled chiles)
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 4 brioche buns
- 4 slices sharp cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for toasting buns)
- Optional spread: chipotle mayo, garlic aioli, or Dijon mustard
Instructions:
- Preheat the Grill
- Roast the Hatch Chiles
- Grill the Bacon
- Form and Season the Patties
- Sear the Burgers
- Toast the Buns
- Assemble the Burgers
Ignite the Trident™ Infrared Burner on high heat. Allow the grill to preheat for 10–15 minutes to ensure a hot sear zone and even cooking areas.
Place chiles directly over high heat. Char until the skin is blistered on all sides, turning occasionally (about 6–8 minutes). Transfer to a bowl, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and steam for 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and slice into strips.
Using the cooler zone of the grill, cook the bacon over indirect heat until crispy, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
Divide the Wagyu beef into four equal patties. Gently shape into rounds and season generously with salt and pepper.
Place patties over the Trident™ burner for a deep, crusty sear—about 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Move to indirect heat and top with cheese during the last minute of cooking.
Brush brioche buns with olive oil or butter and place cut-side down on the grill for 1–2 minutes until golden.
Spread your preferred sauce on the buns, layer on the grilled patty, roasted Hatch chiles, crispy bacon, and the top bun. Serve immediately.
