Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
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.
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into small patties about 2 inches in diameter.
Brush patties lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
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.
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.
Toast the brioche slider buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
Cook the mini burger patties on the preheated grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
During the last minute of cooking, place a quartered slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
Assemble the mini chipotle burgers by spreading fire-roasted garlic catsup on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Top with a lettuce leaf (cut to fit the bun), a cooked patty with melted cheese, and then the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately as a flavorful appetizer or party bite.
