Spice up the American classic burger with the bold flavor of chopped scallions and Colby Jack cheese. These sliders with smoky chipotle ketchup sauce take it to the next level.
A chipotle is a fully-ripened red jalapeño chile pepper, smoke-dried for a totally different taste.
The Tabasco® Chipotle Pepper Sauce has a Scoville Heat Range at 1,500 to 2,500 units. (It is a measure of capsaicin – the chemical in peppers responsible for their heat.)
Chipotle has a smoky, earthy flavor that is perfect for the BBQ. Try these sliders with homemade Chipotle Ketchup.
This makes these a spicy hot cheeseburger slider indeed!
Spicy Hot Cheeseburger Sliders with Chipotle Ketchup
Ingredients
Chipotle Ketchup
- ½ c ketchup
- 1 tbsp Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
- ¼ tsp chipotle chili powder
- salt u0026 pepper to taste
Sliders
- 1 lb ground chuck
- ¼ d chopped scallions
- salt u0026 pepper to taste
- 8 slider rolls (2″ in diameter)
- 2 slices Colby Jack Cheese
- green leaf lettuce, arugula or cilantro
Instructions
- In small bowl combine ketchup ingredients; set aside.
- Preheat grill to 500 °F, about 15 minutes.
- Combine ground chuck and scallions in a bowl. Gently shape mixture into eight 2-inch round burgers with a small indentation in the center. (The indent helps the patty expand lengthwise as the meat tightens during cooking, rather than width-wise. Now you’ll end up with a nice patty shape instead of a bulging burger.)
- Season burgers with salt u0026 pepper. Grill burgers about 5 minutes, or to desired doneness, turning once.
- Cut each cheese slice into 4 pieces. Top burgers with cheese; cook 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted.
- To serve, layer your choice of greens, burger and ketchup on bun.
