1. Fire Up the Grill: Get your grill nice and hot, preheating it to medium-high heat.
2. Flavorful Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This spice mixture will add depth of flavor to your burgers.
3. Building the Burgers: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground sirloin and chuck beef. Form the mixture into 6 equal patties, each about 4 inches wide. Season both sides of the patties with the prepared spice mixture.
4. Grilling Magic: Place the burgers on the preheated grill and cook for 3 minutes per side.
5. Melty Cheese Magic: Once you flip the burgers, top each patty with a slice of your preferred cheese. Cover the grill and let the cheese melt for an additional 3 minutes, or until the burgers reach your desired doneness.
6. The Green Chile Glory: Now comes the best part! Remove the burgers from the grill and top each one with a generous 2 tablespoons of diced green chiles. For those who love the heat, feel free to add more!
