Chipotle Sliders
Chipotles in the patties add a smoky heat, while additional chipotles in the mayo add even more great chipotle flavor.
2 pounds ground beef chuck
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 tbsp chipotle powder
2 tsp garlic powder
4â5 chipotles, finely diced
½ cup mayonnaise
16 mini potato buns, halved
16 slices of your favorite cheese
Line 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper. Put 1 pound meat on top of each and place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of that. Roll out until meat fills pans.
Fold each sheet of meat in half and trim edges and push into meat if required. Cut each sheet into 8 equal patties. Combine seasonings except for diced chipotles. Sprinkle patties with seasoning mixture.
Heat a griddle to 350°F. Cook patties on the griddle 2 minutes per side, adding 1 slice of cheese on top at last minute.

Meanwhile, toast buns. Combine mayonnaise and diced chipotles. Spread mayonnaise mixture on each bun.
