Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 slices Red onion slices
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Shape the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure even cooking.
In a small food processor or blender, combine chipotle peppers and barbecue sauce. Blend until smooth to create the chipotle barbecue sauce.
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip.
Spread 1 tablespoon of the chipotle barbecue sauce over the top of each patty after flipping. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness (medium is 160°F).
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, or until lightly golden.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, a tomato slice, and a red onion slice on top. Spread additional chipotle barbecue sauce on the top half of each bun if desired.
Close the burgers with the top buns and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoky, spicy Chipotle Barbecue Cheeseburgers!
