Treat your ingredients with care...

• Ground beef — Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option. If you prefer a juicier patty, opt for ground beef with a slightly higher fat content.
• Green chili sauce — Adjust the spiciness of the sauce by adding more or less cayenne pepper. You can also use canned green chili sauce if you prefer a milder flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture before shaping the patties.
• If you prefer a melty cheese layer, place the assembled Sloppers under the broiler for a minute or two until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
• Customize your Slopper by adding your favorite toppings such as avocado, pickles, or crispy bacon.
• If you can't find green chili sauce, you can make a substitute by combining roasted green chilies, garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth.
• To make the Slopper even heartier, serve it with a side of crispy french fries or onion rings.

Serving advice

Serve the Slopper Supreme immediately while the cheese is still melted and gooey. Accompany it with a side of coleslaw or a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the dish.

Presentation advice

To present the Slopper Supreme beautifully, place it on a serving plate with the top bun slightly tilted to reveal the layers of beef, green chili sauce, and melted cheese. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color.
