It’s that time of year again. Football season. More importantly, a fall full of tailgating. Of all the things I love a good football party is definitely at the top of the list. To me nothing goes better with football than burgers and there is no doubt in my mind that piling cheddar cheese and grilled peppers on top could only make them better.
I love peppers and Hatch Chiles are definitely some of my favorites. Hatch Chiles season is coming to an end, and although they are really good on this burger, I think poblanos would taste great too!
