Tex Mex Patty Melts

This sounds really good but I will probably switch out the white bread for something different.  I wonder if I will be able to sell these to the kids.  They are not as big fans of spicy as Chris and I are.  Chris and I have learned some tough lessons from chipotles in adobo.  LOL

1lb. ground beef
3 tbsp. chili seasoning mix
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1/2oz. beer
1/4 C. mayonnaise
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
6 slices white bread
6 slices pepperjack cheese

Mix together ground beef, chili seasoning mix, 2 minced chipotle peppers and beer in a bowl.  Divide the mixture evenly into 3 patties.

Stir together the mayonnaise and 1 minced chipotle pepper in a small bowl.  Divide the mixture between bread slices and spread evenly.  Place a slice of pepperjack cheese on top of the mayonnaise mixture on each slice of bread.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.  Cook the patties in the skillet until no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 7 minutes each side for well done.  Remove each burger to a slice of bread, sandwiching them with remaining slices.

Drain the skillet reserving 2 tbsp. of the grease.  Heat the reserved grease in the skillet over medium high heat.  Grill the sandwiches in the skillet until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted; 1 to 2 minutes per side.
