Introduction ##
The green chili cheeseburger is a classic American dish that has been reinvented time and time again. The recipe we will be demonstrating today includes sautéed onions, green chilies, beef, pork, pickles, and sesame seeds.

Ingredients

- 1/2 onion, diced

Step-by-Step Guide ##
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large pan, sauté onions and green chilies until they are soft.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly.
- Divide the meat into 4 equal patties. Season one side of the patties with salt and pepper.
- Place the patties on the grill, seasoned side down.
- Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes. Then, flip the patties and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F due to the pork content.
- Top the patties with the green chili and onion mix and a slice of pepper jack cheese.
