Try These 3 Grilled Burger Recipes for Memorial Day Weekend

Here are a few of our favorite unconventional burger recipes. Now we just have to decide which to make first!

QUADRUPLE CHILI CHEESEBURGERS

This fiery burger starts like a classic green chili cheeseburger but then ups the heat with three extra kinds of hot peppers. We throw chili onto this burger in just about every form we can think of: pepper Jack cheese, pickled jalapeños, and chipotle mayo in addition to the roasted Poblanos (if you can find Hatch chili, use those instead).

2 whole fresh poblano or hatch chilis

2 pounds freshly ground beef chuck

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 chipotle pepper canned in adobo, finely chopped, plus 2 teaspoons adobo sauce

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

8 slices pepperjack or pepper colby-jack cheese

4 large hamburger buns

1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeños

Divide meat into four even piles and shape into burger patties about 1/2-inch wider than burger buns. Season generously with salt and pepper and set aside.

Place chiles directly over a gas burner and cook, turning occasionally, until charred and blistered all over. Alternatively, place chiles as close as possible to broiler element set to high and cook, turning occasionally, until charred and blistered all over. Transfer to a sheet of aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Set aside for five minutes, then remove from foil and carefully peel off most of the skin. Discard stems and seeds. Roughly chop chilis.

Combine chipotle, adobo sauce, and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.

Place burgers directly over hot side of grill and cook, turning occasionally, until well charred and internal temperature registers 125°F to 130°F on an instant read thermometer for medium-rare, about 5 minutes total, or 135°F to 140°F for medium, about 6 minutes total. Top each burger patty with two slices of cheese, then transfer to a large plate and tent with aluminum foil.

Toast buns directly over hot side of grill until browned, about 30 seconds.

Place bottom buns on a cutting board. Top with burger patties. Top burger patties with roasted chilis and pickled jalapeños. Top with chipotle mayonnaise
