    best sliders ever

    Smoky Ground Beef Sliders with Chipotle Mayo, your new go-to slider recipe. Beautiful little ground beef sliders studded with smoky heat flavor from chipotle peppers. Add that Chipotle Mayo and grilled pineapple and you’ve got the best slider recipe ever.

    Sliders with Chipotle Mayo and pineapple.

    Every summer when the grill comes out so do the hamburger patties. Entertaining is easy when you have a grill full of burgers.

    Even though my favorite burger is all-American, simple with a slice of onion, a ring of tomato and yellow mustard, these little ground beef sliders make an appearance at least once or twice each season.

    I found this recipe years ago over at Cookin’ Canuck. I’ve crowned the recipe “find of the century”. 🙂

    Beef sliders with Smoky in flavor and packed with goodness. Topped with a ring of pineapple and you've got a treat.

    You should really make time to grill up some of these little flavor packed sliders. The chipotle mayo is a wonderful compliment to the smoky cilantro-laced patties. Topped with a slice of grilled pineapple…MUWAAAA! What a treat.

    Smoky sliders with Chipotle Mayonnaise. Wonderful in flavor, in every way.

    Be forewarned, these little goodies do pack a some heat. I’m kind of a wuss about that, but found them to be just right. Just make sure you scrape the seeds and veins off from inside those fire-ey chipotle peppers in order to enjoy their flavor instead of the their heat.

    Ingredients

    • For the sliders:
    • 1 1/2 pound Ground beef about 88% lean
    • 1 Chipotle pepper seeded and minced
    • 2 teaspoons Adobo sauce from the chipotle pepper can
    • 1/4 cup Cilantro chopped
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 large rings pineapple
    • 8 slider buns
    • Chipotle Mayonnaise
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    • The patties:
    • n a medium bowl, combine ground meat , chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands. Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal pieces and form each into patties that are 2 1/2 to 3-inches in diameter. (Can be made ahead. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and chill. Bring the room temperature before grilling.)
    • The pineapple:
    • Place pineapple rings on the grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and cut each ring into quarters.
    • Chipotle Mayonnaise Recipe
    • Putting it together:
    • Place the buns cut side down on the grill. Remove when the cut side is lightly toasted. Spread a generous amount of chipotle mayonnaise on each bun.
    • Place the meat patties on the grill and cook, lid closed, 5 minutes per side, or until barely cooked through. I like a little bit of pink inside to ensure optimal juiciness.
    • Remove the patties from the grill and place one patty on the bottom half of each prepared bun. Top each patty with a piece of grilled pineapple and top with the top half of the bun. Serve.

    Notes

    Please refer to this recipe for Homemade Chipotle Mayonnaise.

      Mmmm, chipotle! Love it! And love the size of these, too — always fun to have 2 burgers for dinner! 🙂 Not something I can do with those half pounders most restaurants serve. Fun dish — thanks.

        I remember easily downing two grilled full sized burgers in my 20’s. Now 1 little slider is just enough. 🙂

      What a great combination of flavors that I would have never thought of. I can just imagine the sweetness of the pineapple with the smoky chipotles. One can never have too many go-to recipes!

      A grilled pineapple is always a perfect burger topping when there’s chipotle involved.
