I make sliders much more often than I do full-sized burgers. I’ve made all sorts of them. From chicken chorizo patty melt sliders to cedar-planked beef sliders, to grilled Big Mac sliders, I just love sliders. These grilled chipotle Ranch sliders have such fantastic flavor. A little heat. A little smokiness. The sauce really kicks up that great cooked-outside flavor. They’re highly addicting.
Dangerously Addicting
The chipotles in adobo not only add great heat to the grilled chipotle Ranch sliders, they also keep the patties very moist and tender. I topped them with mayonnaise mixed with a bit more chipotles in adobo for a nice creamy (and spicy) finish. Not too hot, mind you. Just a great spicy flavor.
Of course you can make these in full-sized versions too. Instead of 8 patties form the meat mixture into 4 patties and make ‘normal’ burgers.
Don’t have chipotles in adobo on hand? Substitute Sriracha sauce or your favorite hot sauce.
Also try my cool shot glass sliders.
