Ingredients

1.5 lbs. Ground Beef (80% lean)
12 fresh Hatch green chiles or 8 oz. canned green chiles
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp. Salt
½ cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
12 Hawaiian sweet or small whole wheat slider buns, split
3 slices pepper Jack cheese, cut into quarters

Optional Toppings

Lettuce, tomato slices, onion

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the grill to MEDIUM-HIGH heat, about 400℉. Place the chiles directly on the grates and roast them, turning occasionally, until the skin is blackened all over, about 10 minutes. Once charred, remove the chiles and place them in a bowl. Cover and set aside, allowing the chiles to steam. Once the chiles have cooled, easily peel off and discard skins. Dice roasted chiles.
Step 2

Combine Ground Beef, half of the diced chiles (about 4 oz), salt, shredded cheese, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into twelve ½-inch thick mini patties.
Step 3

Place patties on grill and cook 9-11 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Add ¼ slice of pepper jack cheese to each patty and allow to melt.

Cooking Tip: Cooking Tip: Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
Step 4

Add one slider patty to the bottom bun. Top with remaining green chiles, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Close slider with top bun.
