Burgers for the pan or grill

[mikeb]

8 ounces chuck, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
8 ounces sirloin, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

In separate batches, pulse the chuck and the sirloin in a food processor 10 times. Combine the chuck, sirloin, and kosher salt in a large bowl. Form the meat into 5-ounce patties.
Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Place the hamburger patties in the pan. For medium-rare burgers, cook the patties for 4 minutes on each side. For medium burgers, cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side. Flip the burgers only once during cooking.

Bobby Flay's Green Chile Cheeseburger

2 pounds Angus-quality ground beef
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
4 pounds mild green chiles, (recommended: New Mexico Hatch Chiles)
2 pounds hot green chiles, (recommended: New Mexico Hatch Chiles)
3 large white onions, peeled
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon fresh epazote
1/2 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
1 cup water
Oil, for brushing grill
4 hamburger buns
1 pound Asadero cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Preheat the grill to high.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with the salt and pepper and set aside.

Next, brush the green chiles with oil and place them on the hottest part of the grill. Cook the chiles until they are charred on all sides about 5 minutes. Then remove them from the grill and put them in a bowl of ice water to cool. Remove the chiles from the ice water and carefully peel off the charred skin. Cut the stem off, remove the seeds and set aside. Take the onions and place them on the grill. Cook the onions until charred on all sides about 10 minutes and set aside.

In a blender, add half the peeled chiles and half of the charred onions. Then add in the garlic, epazote, and oregano. Blend until the ingredients come together. Add the grapeseed oil and water and continue blending until the mixture is smooth about 30 seconds. Remove mixture to a large bowl.

Roughly chop the remaining chiles and onions and mix them into the chile puree. Season, to taste.

Form the ground beef into 4 (8-ounce) patties. Brush the grill with oil and cook the patties to desired doneness, 5 minutes for medium rare, 15 minutes for well done. Put the hamburger buns on the grill until lightly toasted. Just before removing the burgers, top them with the cheese and chile mixture. Remove the patties from the grill once the cheese begins to melt and place them on the hamburger buns. Garnish with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Just making sure this is right although the recipe sounds good. That's 2 pounds of cheese and 6 pounds of chilies to 2 pounds of beef ?

And it's all for 4 buns.
