Directions
Process chipotle peppers in a blender until smooth.
Measure 4 teaspoons purée, reserving remainder for another use, if desired.
Combine 4 teaspoons purée, ground beef, and steak seasoning in a large bowl until blended.
(Do not overwork meat mixture.)
Shape mixture into 8 (4-inch) patties; place 1 cheese slice on each of 4 patties.
Top with remaining 4 patties, pressing edges to seal.
Cover and chill at least 30 minutes.
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.
