Why 500,000+ Customers Keep Coming Back

I have been ordering Hatch chily for years. My family has been eating hatch chily forever. I use to order the pods, roast them, clean them then freeze the chily. Was a lot of work. Then I got lazy and started ordering Roasted hatch frozen chily . They come in hot ice and the taste of the chily is the same without all the work. Wondering why I didn't do this years ago. Thank you hatch chily for your great chily and the roasted chopped chily. Also a note, I have tried other chily that says hatch valley chily. Definitely not the same!!

We have been ordering these hatch chiles for over a year now. The chiles are fantastic but everything from the quick shipping, to the excellent packaging has been so reliable. We use their chiles in our blue masa cheddar, hatch chile bread and people go nuts for it!

I have always ordered the Jarred hot green chilies, but once I saw they offered fresh green chilies. I ordered 25 lb. Immediately roasted them, chopped them and sealed them for freezer use. I used to live in Arizona when I could get them all the time, now that I live in North Carolina I have to order them. They are delicious. I recommend them to all

I love that I get to have green chile from Hatch anytime I want it. If I only use some of the jar I can refrigerate the rate or freeze it. I can use it all yr round. I used to but the chiles and roast them but now I don’t have to. I really love this brand.

The green chile cheeseburger is New Mexico's official state burger — and arguably its greatest contribution to American food culture. Born at San Antonio NM's Owl Bar in the 1940s, it's just a smashed-patty cheeseburger crowned with chopped roasted Hatch green chile — but the chile makes everything. Once you've had a real one, every other burger feels naked.

This collection is everything you need to build a green chile cheeseburger at home: roasted Hatch green chile (frozen or fresh in season), Hatch green chile sauce, chile-infused powders for rubs, and bundles that get you everything in one order. Throw the cheese and the patty yourself — we'll handle the chile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a green chile cheeseburger different from a regular burger?
It's a smashed-patty cheeseburger crowned with chopped roasted Hatch green chile. The chile melts into the cheese, adds smokiness, and gives the burger a layer of flavor that bare beef and cheese can't reach. Once you've had a real one, regular burgers feel flat.
What kind of green chile should I use?
Roasted Hatch green chile — frozen (year-round) or fresh (Aug–Oct). Avoid 'green chile' from generic spice aisles or jars labeled 'hatch-style' — they're typically not actual Hatch chile. For best texture, chop the chile to a rough mince so it sits evenly on the patty.
How much green chile per burger?
About 2 tablespoons of chopped roasted chile per burger — roughly half a 1-pound bag stretches across 8 burgers. More if you like it chile-forward.
Can I make it ahead?
The chile can be thawed and chopped a day ahead and refrigerated. Cook the patties fresh — the burger should be hot when the chile and cheese hit it for the cheese to melt properly.
Cheese — what's traditional?
Sharp cheddar or pepper jack are classic in New Mexico. Some places use American (Owl Bar in San Antonio NM uses American, the originator). Avoid 'fancy' cheeses (gruyere, brie, etc.) — they fight the chile flavor.

We know you're wondering.

Hatch Chile is a protected regional designation — like Champagne or Vidalia onions — for chile grown exclusively in the Hatch Valley of southern New Mexico. The valley's mineral-rich Rio Grande soil, 300+ days of intense sunshine, and 40-degree temperature swings between day and night are why Hatch chile tastes like nowhere else. Most "green chile" in grocery stores is Anaheim — a milder, less complex pepper mass-produced in California or Mexico. All of our products are Hatch Chile Association certified, meaning they were grown in the Hatch Valley, not relabeled from another region.

Frozen products ship on Tuesdays or Wednesdays according to the destination ZIP and service. Economy generally takes 1–3 business days by ZIP in the lower 48; Alaska and Hawaii are Overnight only. Fresh chile ships on Wednesdays during harvest, with Overnight or 2-Day Air options. Overnight is recommended and is the only speed we guarantee. Check the shipping guide and fresh chile product page for current availability and expected dates.

Medium is our most popular heat level and what we recommend for first-timers — it has a pleasant, building warmth that lets you taste the signature smoky-sweet Hatch flavor without overwhelming heat. Mild is perfect for kids, spice-sensitive palates, or dishes like rellenos where you want flavor without the kick. Hot delivers the classic New Mexican heat that restaurants in Albuquerque and Santa Fe are known for. X-Hot is for serious heat seekers only. When in doubt, start Medium — you can always go hotter next time.

Roasted frozen Hatch chile lasts 12+ months at 0°F without significant quality loss — this is how most New Mexicans stockpile their annual supply and enjoy Hatch chile year-round. We recommend portioning into meal-sized bags and pressing out as much air as possible before freezing. Our jarred sauces, salsas, and dried products like red chile pods and powders are shelf-stable for 12–18 months in your pantry.

Yes — discounts apply automatically at checkout with no code needed. For pantry items like jarred chile, sauces, salsas, and spices: 3+ items saves 10% and 6+ items saves 15%. For frozen products like roasted chile, rellenos, tamales, and chimichangas: 2 items saves 20%, 3 saves 25%, and 4+ saves 30%. Mix and match anything within each collection — the more you stock, the more you save.

Every product we sell is Hatch Chile Association certified — your guarantee that the chile was grown in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico, not Anaheim or imported chile relabeled under the Hatch name. Our family has farmed the Hatch Valley since 1917 when our great-great-grandfather Joseph Franzoy became the first commercial chile farmer in the region. Five generations later, we still farm 300+ acres and grow 10+ cultivar varieties including Big Jim, Sandia Select, and Lumbre. Over 500,000 customers and 12,000+ verified 5-star reviews — you're buying from the source.
