Ingredients
For the Special Sauce:
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle chiles in adobo)
2 teaspoons diced pickled jalapenos
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 shallot, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
For the Sliders:
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Canola oil, for frying
10 2-inch slices sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 mini brioche buns
10 bun-size pieces Bibb lettuce
10 pickled jalapeno strips and 10 pickled carrot slices (from a can of pickled jalapeños and carrots)
Directions
- Make the special sauce: Stir all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Make the sliders: Mix the ground beef, garlic and onion powders, salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper in a large bowl. Form the meat mixture into ten 2-inch patties.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough canola oil to coat the pan and heat until the oil is smoking. Add the patties and cook, flipping once, until heavily caramelized on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes for medium rare. Top each patty with a slice of cheese. Transfer the patties to a plate. Wipe out the pan, add the butter and melt over low heat. Add the buns cut-side down and toast them in the butter.
- Spread the chipotle special sauce on both cut sides of each bun. Place a patty and a piece of lettuce on each bun. Top each slider with a pickled jalapeno strip and a pickled carrot slice, securing them with a bamboo pick.
