Green Chile Slopper
The Pueblo Green Chile slopper is a delectable and hearty Southwestern dish that's a regional specialty in Pueblo, Colorado. It's essentially an open-faced burger or sandwich with a twist, featuring a juicy hamburger patty or other protein of your choice, smothered in a generous serving of Pueblo Green Chile sauce, and often topped with cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Here's a detailed description:
1. The Patty: At the heart of the slopper is a thick and juicy burger patty. The patty is typically seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled to perfection, ensuring it's tender and flavorful.
2. Green Chile Sauce: The star of the show is the Pueblo green Chile sauce. This sauce is made from roasted and peeled green chiles, which are simmered with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and a variety of spices to create a rich, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor profile. The sauce is creamy and thick and coats the burger patty generously.
3. Cheese: Many slopper enthusiasts opt to add a layer of shredded cheese on top of the green Chile sauce. Common choices include cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend. The cheese adds creaminess and a savory touch to the dish.
4. Accompaniments: A slopper is often served on an open-faced bun or a slice of bread, allowing the green Chile sauce to soak into the bread, creating a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Some variations may also include additional toppings like sliced onions, lettuce, tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream for added freshness and contrast.
5. Sides: A typical Pueblo green chile slopper is served with a side of French fries, offering a satisfying and complete meal.
