Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
  • 2–3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 slider buns
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Butter or oil, for toasting buns and cooking patties

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chipotle glaze: In a small bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers, and a small amount of adobo sauce. Stir well until smooth and sticky, balancing heat and sweetness.
  2. Mix and season the meat: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef or turkey with onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Avoid overmixing to maintain juicy and tender patties. Reserve some of the glaze for basting.
  3. Form the slider patties: Shape the meat mixture into small, evenly sized patties slightly larger than the slider buns to allow for shrinkage during cooking.
  4. Cook the sliders: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Sear the patties for about 3 minutes per side. After flipping, brush patties with honey chipotle garlic glaze to create a sticky, flavorful crust.
  5. Toast the buns: Brush the slider buns with melted butter and toast them in a hot pan or oven until golden brown to add crunch and richness.
  6. Assemble your sliders: Place each cooked patty on a toasted bun. Add optional toppings like crisp lettuce, pickles, or sliced onions, and finish with a drizzle of the remaining glaze for an irresistible finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh chipotle peppers if possible for more vibrant heat and smokiness.
  • Do not overcook meat; cook until just done and rest briefly to keep sliders juicy.
  • Warm the glaze before basting to help it caramelize on the patties.
  • Toast buns just before serving to preserve crispness and prevent sogginess.
  • Adjust chipotle spice gradually to control heat level according to preference.
