- [Bobby] Welcome to bbqpitboys.com
Today we're grilling up some
KC sweet chipotle meatball sliders at the pit.
And it's easy to do all right.
We've got some ground chuck for this recipe.
Here we've got some honey.
You're gonna need some Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce.
Some seasoning like salt and pepper,
some minced garlic, finely chopped onions,
some shredded cheese,
and here's the magic you're going to need
some KC masterpiece barbecue sauce.
All right, now let's put this together.
We're gonna season ground beef of course
using salt and pepper or some SPG.
Here we're gonna use maybe a tablespoon of minced garlic.
Here, we've got some onions finely chopped
a couple tablespoons will do.
Here we've got some honey a couple tablespoons.
Now, you can adjust this recipe more or less
it's pit master privilege,
but this works real good, all right.
Now here we've got some shredded cheese,
and this will help bind the meatballs together,
those milk solids.
And here we've got some Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce.
There are about three peppers in here
and we're gonna cut them up real fine
so it mixes well in this meatball mix we are going to do.
All right, now you can add more or less,
depends on how much you like but this works real good.
All right, finely chop them up.
Now if you've never had Chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce,
you definitely got to check it out.
You should keep a jar at your pit at all times.
All right now,
we're gonna mix all of this together right.
And mix it well.
Oh yeah.
Now if you've never had
KC sweet Chipotle meatball sliders before,
you definitely got to check it out
and you'll want to make a bunch
after all they're sliders right, they're pretty small.
Alright let's form some meatballs out of this mix
and these are probably about a quarter pound each
more or less, all right.
And you want to form these fairly tightly all right.
I'm telling you that these are gonna be good.
Plenty of flavor already.
Now you know how to form meatballs right
you've been watching us over the years.
So the meatballs have been formed.
Now what we're gonna do is
we're going to sear these first on the grill
and use whatever grill you have.
You wanna get some texture on the outside first.
We've got about a medium heat going.
(lid clanging)
This will only take five, 10 minutes maybe at the most.
All right see, now midway through you just flip them
we'll get some even cooking going on.
You don't wanna cook them all the way through,
because we've got another step
in this KC sweet Chipotle meatball slider recipe.
You just flip them.
Oh!
Man!
(lid clanging)
Now here's the magic of this recipe like I said
we're using some KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce
and we'd like to thank KC Masterpiece
for sponsoring the pit boys in this video.
This is an excellent sauce for this recipe.
Oh!
So we'll coat the bottom of the pan with some KC first.
Yup.
Easy enough right?
And now we're gonna take these meatballs
and they're, I would say say medium cooked on the inside.
Maybe medium rare.
And we're gonna place them in this baking pan.
Oh, man!
Now of course you could do this with your oven in the house.
If you'd like.
You would sear these meatballs in a pan first.
And drop them in a baking pan just like this.
And then we're gonna take some more of this KC Masterpiece
and throw it all over these meatballs.
Yeah.
Nice and thick so you got to really get every bit
of that sauce out of this bottle.
Just give it a shake.
(upbeat music)
And then we're going to place it on the grill indirect.
We're doing indirect grilling here.
We've got the heat on one side so we control the heat.
And it's about 350 degrees more or less,
temperature, Fahrenheit right.
All right we're about halfway through.
This doesn't take long.
We want an internal temperature
of these meatballs about 160 degrees, 165,
and this is the time when we're gonna baste it
with some more of this KC sauce.
Lord have mercy.
It smells good!
Not long to go.
Take a look at that.
Now we're just about ready to pull them off the grill.
So we're going to load them up with some cheese.
And use your favorite cheese
we've got a blend of cheddar cheese here.
And there's never enough cheese.
Look at that.
Put the cover on and let that cheese meltdown a bit.
Whoa.
I say these KC sweet Chipotle meatball sliders are done.
(upbeat jazzy music)
Time to pull them off the grill.
And we're gonna heat up our slider rolls
of course you can freshen them up.
