1 Video | Photo: Texas Hold-Ums Mini Chipotle Beef Burgers with Warm Fire Roasted Garlic Ketchup Recipe
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.

Really, really good - the ketchup makes this burger - I made it a little easier and used canned fire roasted tomatoes and let it simmer for at least 15 mins so it truly thickened - yummy!!

Delicious! Just the right amount of heat for me. I cheated on the Warm Fire Roasted Garlic Ketchup and instead of using real tomatoes, I used actual ketchup. However, it tasted delicious with the addition of brown sugar, tpasted garlic, etc. Rachael Ray created another great recipe. Thank you!
