KINGS HAWAIIAN & GRILLO'S PICKLES SPICY CHEESEBURGER SLIDER

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound Ferguson Grass-fed Ground Beef
• 8 Kings Hawaiian slider buns, split, divided
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder
• 2 slices pepper Jack cheese, cut in quarters
• 1/4 cup Grillo's® Fresh Classic Dill Pickle Chips

Toppings:

• Barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato slices, pickles (optional)

COOKING:

1. Combine Ground Beef, bread crumbs, garlic, and chili powder in a medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into eight 1/2-inch thick mini patties.
2. Cook's Tip: One-half teaspoon of chili powder may be substituted for chipotle chili powder.
3. Place patties on the grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, for 8 to 9 minutes (over medium heat on a preheated gas grill, 9 to 10 minutes) until the instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Evenly top with cheese during the last minute of grilling.
4. Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
5. Place burgers on the bottoms of buns. Top with pickles and desired Toppings. Close sandwiches.
