Slopper

Slopper

A slopper is a cheeseburger, or hamburger served open-faced and smothered in red chile, or green chile (aka chile verde or green chile sauce). Sloppers generally include grilled buns and are often topped with freshly chopped onions. Eating a slopper is no easy task. The use of a fork or spoon is essential, but a fork & knife, or fork & spoon combination is recommended.

The common consensus is that the slopper originated in Pueblo, Colorado in the early to mid 1970s LINDA NAVARRO, THE GAZETTE [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4191/is_20050819/ai_n14914701 "Try legendary slopper dish"] .
