About Hatch Green Chile Bacon Burger
The Hatch Green Chile Bacon Burger is the premium seasonal build, priced at $13.49 with 1068 calories. Hatch chiles come from a specific valley in New Mexico and only harvest for a few weeks a year, which is why this item appears and disappears rather than sitting on the menu permanently.
The build layers roasted Hatch chiles, bacon and cheese over beef, so you get smoke from two directions at once. It is the priciest sandwich Whataburger sells and the one regulars watch for, because when the season ends it is gone until the next harvest.

How to Make Hatch Green Chile Bacon Burger at Home?
Real Hatch chiles are worth sourcing in season and freeze well roasted. Outside the season, Anaheim chiles are the closest substitute.

Instructions
0 of 6 stepsTips
- Buy Hatch chiles roasted in bulk during the August season and freeze them in portions.
- Bacon goes on top so it stays crisp above the cheese.
- Season the chiles after peeling, not before roasting.
Variations
- No bacon version, which is close to the Green Chile Double at $8.99.
- Jr. size on a four inch bun for a lighter portion.
- Add a fried egg for a heavier Southwest build.
Serving Ideas
Serve with onion rings and unsweet tea. The sweetness of the rings works with roasted chile.

It is seasonal, tied to the Hatch chile harvest, and typically appears in late summer or early fall. It is not available year round and may not reach every location.
