Cookbook:Chipotle Sliders

Chipotles in the patties add a smoky heat, while additional chipotles in the mayo add even more great chipotle flavor.

Ingredients

 * 2 pounds ground beef chuck
 * 1 tsp salt
 * 1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
 * 1 tbsp chipotle powder
 * 2 tsp garlic powder
 * 4–5 chipotles, finely diced
 * ½ cup mayonnaise
 * 16 mini potato buns, halved
 * 16 slices of your favorite cheese

Procedure

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) Meanwhile, toast buns. Combine mayonnaise and diced chipotles. Spread mayonnaise mixture on each bun.
 * 5) Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun. Top with upper half and serve warm.
