Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 2 tbsp Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 12 pcs Brioche slider buns
• 6 pcs Cheddar cheese slices, quartered
• 6 pcs Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 4 pcs Roma tomatoes, roasted and diced
• 4 pcs Garlic cloves, roasted and mashed
• 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 0.5 tsp Salt (for the catsup)
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped chipotle peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Brush patties lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and set aside.

Step 5

To make the fire-roasted garlic catsup, combine roasted roma tomatoes, roasted and mashed garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, smoked paprika, and salt in a small saucepan.

Step 6

Simmer the catsup mixture over low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Blend the mixture until smooth if desired.

Step 7

Toast the brioche slider buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 8

Cook the mini burger patties on the preheated grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Step 9

During the last minute of cooking, place a quartered slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.

Step 10

Assemble the mini chipotle burgers by spreading fire-roasted garlic catsup on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Step 11

Top with a lettuce leaf (cut to fit the bun), a cooked patty with melted cheese, and then the top half of the bun.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a flavorful appetizer or party bite.
