1. Prepare Hatch Chile Mayo: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and chopped hatch chiles. Set aside for flavors to meld. Adjust the amount of chiles based on your preferred spice level.
2. Prep the Burger Patties: Season the Wahlburgers Signature Blend Sliders with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
3. Cook the Burgers: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the slider patties on the hot surface and use a heavy spatula to smash them down to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cook for about 3 minutes until the edges are crispy and browned. Flip the burgers, and immediately place a slice of Wahlburgers American Cheese on each patty. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
4. Toast the Buns: Butter the buns lightly and toast them on the grill or skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
5. Assemble the Smashburgers: Spread a generous amount of hatch chile mayo on the bottom bun. Place the cheesy burger patty on top, and add any optional garnishes like lettuce, tomato, or onion. Cap with the top bun.
6. Serve: Serve the Hatch Chile Heat Smashburgers immediately while hot and juicy.
