Why do they call them sliders? Probably because they slide down so fast!

Ingredients

• 1 pound (450g) (80/20 ratio) ground chuck
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbs chipotle powder
• 4 thin slices Monterey Jack cheese
• 16 (1-inch) buns, split in half and toasted
• Butter

Directions

1. Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine seasonings. Set aside.
3. Place meat out on a parchment-lined sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap. Roll out with a rolling pin until meat fills pan.
4. Remove entire sheet of parchment, including meat, from pan. Remove meat and cut into 16 equal patties with a pizza cutter.
5. Sprinkle both sides of each patty with seasoning mixture. Cook on preheated griddle 1 minute per side, putting cheese on cooked side after flipping.
6. Meanwhile, spread butter on each bun. Place a patty in each bun and close. Serve warm with desired condiments.
