List of Ingredients



• 1 (7-ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, undrained
  
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
  
• 2 tsp steak seasoning
  
• ½ (10-ounce) package Cheddar cheese, cut into 4 thick slices
  
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
  
• Toppings: tomato slices, red onion slices, romaine lettuce leaves, yellow mustard, mayonnaise
  






Instructions



1. Process chipotle peppers in a blender until smooth. Measure 4 teaspoons purée, reserving remainder for another use, if desired.
   
   
2. Combine 4 teaspoons purée, ground beef, and steak seasoning in a large bowl until blended. (Do not overwork meat mixture.) Shape mixture into eight 4-inch patties; place one cheese slice on each of 4 patties. Top with remaining 4 patties, pressing edges to seal. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes.
   
   
3. Grill, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until beef is no longer pink. Serve burgers on buns with desired toppings.
