Chipotle Bacon Sliders

It is grilling season and I live in a predominately male household where we like our burgers.  My kids devoured these.  In fact I am sure that would have eaten more if I had made more unfortunately for them I did not.  These were a nice twist on a regular burger without being to weird for my kids.

Chipotle Bacon Sliders

2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp chipotle pepper
1/2 lb ground chicken
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 oz shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
4 small soft rolls, about 2" in diameter
4 strips cooked bacon
Caramelized Onions

Directions
Remove the burgers. While the pan is still hot, toast the rolls. Brush them with a bit more steak sauce if you like, then top each with a burger and mushrooms.
Mix the mayo and chipotle pepper. Season the sirloin with salt and pepper; form into 4 patties, being careful not to overwork the meat (which will create dense, chewy patties). Brush each patty with steak sauce. When the pan is hot, add the burgers and cook for 3 minutes on the first side, then flip.  Add the cheddar on top and continue to cook for another 3 minutes. Spread the rolls with a bit of the mayo mixture, then top with the burgers, bacon, and caramelized onions.
