Chipotle Sliders

This recipe looks fun. I may tone down the spice for the kids. I could also see switching out the chipotle and pepper jack cheese for bacon and bleu cheese or jalepeno peppers and cheddar.

1 pkg. Hawaiian sweet rolls
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
8 tsp. minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, divided
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
10 slices pepper jack cheese
1/2 C. mayonnaise

Place 2 rolls in a food processor; process until crumbly. Transfer to a large bowl; add the salt, pepper and 6 tsp. chipotle peppers. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 10 patties.

Grill burgers, covered over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees and juices run clear. Top with cheese. Grill 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted.

Split remaining rolls and grill, cut side down, over medium heat for 30-60 seconds or until toasted. Combine mayonnaise and remaining chipotle peppers; spread over roll bottoms. Top each with a burger. Replace roll tops and serve.
