| 1 | Get out a large bowl and combine the ground chuck, chopped onion, garlic and mix"em together real good. |
| 2 | Shape"em into 6 oblong patties so they"ll fit on a hoagie type bun and make"em about 6-inches long. |
| 3 | Hoganote: an easy way to accomplish this is to take the package of ground chuck and lay it out onto a flat surface and press it out until the meat is approximately ?of an inch thick and then with a knife, cut the meat into shapes just a little larger than the buns. |
| 4 | The reason is because the ground chuck will reduce somewhat after placing it on the grill. |
| 5 | Continuing on: place patties on the grill about 4-inches over hot coals. |
| 6 | I use hot coals because i like the outside of the meat to be a little (not much) crusty and the center a little pink. |
| 7 | Grill"em "til they suit your taste. |
| 8 | Usually about 10 minutes. |
| 9 | Now, while the burgers are grilling, you need to heat the veggie oil in a skillet. |
| 10 | To the hot oil, add the peppers and sliced onions and saut?em until they"re tender. |
| 11 | Be sure to stir"em from time-to-time. |
| 12 | Stir in salt and pepper. |
| 13 | Then remove"em from skillet and put"em into a bowl. |
| 14 | Place the burgers on top of one-half of the bun, then spoon the saut?mixture over the top of the burger, slap the top half of the bun over the saut?mixture and get with the program. |
| 15 | Hoganote: *poblano chiles are probably the most common chile used for cooking in mexico. |
| 16 | Many times in grocery stores they are sold as pasilla chiles, which they are not. |
| 17 | In addition, poblano chiles are less hot than the jalapeno chile. |
| 18 | Therefore, if you seed the poblano, you will have virtually no heat whatsoever. |
| 19 | However, it is to me a far more flavorful chile and is great in breakfast foods also. |
| 20 | Preparation time for the saut?mixture is only about 20 minutes. |
| 21 | **by slicing the onion lengthwise, larger pieces of the heart is preserved which adds just that much more flavor. |
