Ingredients

2 pounds ground sirloin
1 medium onion, peeled and cut in 1/2
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
2 chipotles in adobo and 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce
2 tablespoons grill seasoning, a couple of palm fulls, (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1 (15-ounce) can crushed fire roasted tomatoes, about 2 cups
Salt and pepper
12 slices, 1/2-inch thick, brick-cut smoked Cheddar or sharp Cheddar, (recommended: Cabot), optional
12 small round rolls, split
(Many markets sell mini Keiser rolls or use dinner rolls in any flavor you like)

Directions

Preheat grill pan to high.

Place the meat in a bowl. Cut the onion in half. Grate half the onion into the meat using the small grate on a box grater. Chop and reserve the other half onion. Add Worcestershire, chipotles and sauce and grill seasoning to burgers. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil over the bowl and mix meat. Score the meat into 4 sections. Make 3 mini-burgers, each 3 inches wide, 1-inch thick, from each half-pound of meat.

Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and garlic. Cook garlic 2 to 3 minutes then add sugar and vinegar, cook 2 minutes more and stir in tomatoes. Season sauce with salt and pepper and allow it to reduce 5 to 6 minutes more.

Grill meat 2 to 3 minutes on each side and top with cheese, if you like.

Place burgers on buns and top with raw chopped onions and warm fire roasted ketchup and serve.

good burgers but will change some things next time
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Good, juicy burgers. The pepper doesn't get evenly distributed in the meat and was too spicy for my most of my family. Next... time I'll just mix in the adobo sauce (yum) and omit the peppers. I started adding in some onion after seeing her do it with other recipes and it really does seem to keep them moist. I'm not a huge onion fan so I've cut it down to about 1/4 onion and it works fine. The ketchup had mixed reviews. My husband LOVES it, kids hate it, I like it but the vinegar was a bit too strong (I used cider vinegar) and it came out too runny to really be considered a ketchup. Will cut back on the vinegar and sugar and see how that works the next time. All and all, good taste and I'll make it again with a few changes. May even make incorporate this recipe into a meatloaf.

Just ok.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The burgers turned out a little too spicy for our personal tastes but that would easily be solved by cutting back on the... chipotles and adobo... I may make them again to see if they are a bigger hit if I keep them a little more on the "mild" side... Read more
