Copycat Chubby’s Mexican Hamburger

Copycat Chubby’s Mexican Hamburger is a hamburger stuffed burrito on bed refried beans drenched in green pork chili sauce topped with cheddar cheese and chicharron

The first time I saw this was on the TV show called “The Grill Dads, I told myself right after watching it is that either I have to go to Denver to try this one out or make it at home, I chose the latter since going to Denver while its possible it’s not economical, it’s not even on the list of the places I want to visit soon. This Chubby’s top dish is a delicious hamburger stuffed burrito on bed refried beans drenched in green pork chili sauce topped with cheddar cheese and chicharron, just the description alone sounds amazing let alone the process of how Chef Bobby Cordova makes them.

The secret was in their chilli sauce where it is made with tons of pork fat drippings, jalapenos, tomatoes and more chicharron. Other stuff that goes in this dish is quite normal and most probably easy for most, the sauce is the one that was taken care of carefully, the hot savoury tasty gravy is what brings this to life. Another important aspect is the chicharron which gives it a different dimension in texture, the saucy sloppy burrito becomes a wonder with this additional crunch.

It’s a great food, I am glad I made it, in fact that chilli sauce will go well with everything, even real hamburgers, what do you think?
