My whole family loves this recipe. I substitute chipotle chili pepper for the chipotle chilis---I don't like opening a can and using such a small amount. Using the chili pepper also gives a more uniform spicy taste to the ketchup.08/12/09

Based on so many "outstanding" reviews, I was really excited to try this recipe. I have to admit, however, I was a tad disappointed. While I really liked the chipotle ketchup, it overpowered all other flavors. In fact, I could barely taste the cilantro, and I think the bun was too much. I doubt I'll make this recipe again. Instead I'll stick with CL Chipotle Barbeque Burgers with Slaw. It's very moist with a hint of chipotle flavor and excellent slaw as a side. Great without the bun.05/03/09
