Servings: 8
Prep Time: 15 Min.
Cook Time: 10 Min.

+ 1 lb. ground beef (96% lean)
+ 9 small whole wheat hamburger buns, split, divided
+ 1 clove garlic, minced
+ 1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chili powder
+ 2 slices pepper Jack cheese, cut in quarters

Toppings:
+ barbeque sauce
+ lettuce
+ tomato slices
+ pickles

1. Tear one hamburger bun into pieces. Place in food processor or blender container. Cover; pulse on and off, to form fine crumbs.
2. Combine bread crumbs, beef, garlic and chili powder in medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into eight 1/2-in. thick mini patties.
3. Place patties on grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 9 min. (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 9 to 10 min.) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Evenly top with cheese during last minute of grilling.
4. Place burgers on bottoms of remaining eight buns. Top with desired Toppings. Close sandwiches.
