A delicious & spicy take on a traditional burger. Combine chorizo & beef, grill it up, top with cheese and serve it on a bun for a moist popular addition to any BBQ.
Combine lean ground beef with chorizo, mixing as little as possible.
Using your hands, form into 5-6 patties. Chill for 30 minutes or more if possible.
When ready to grill, heat grill to medium, since the fat from the chorizo will cause flare ups.
Grill for approximately 6 minutes, 3 minutes per side, (for larger burgers grill about 4 minutes per side) or until hamburger is cooked through.
Add cheese on top in the last minute to melt. Toast buns at the same time until lightly browned.
Serve chorizo burgers on a toasted bun topped with greens or lettuce and a slice of tomato.
Notes
TIPS FOR MAKING BURGER PATTIES✔ When mixing the two types of meat together, mix as little as possible to avoid a tough burger.✔ When forming the patties, divide the mixture and form into patties quickly with as little handling as possible. Make a small indent in the center to keep the burger from balling up.✔ Make the burgers early and refrigerate to keep them cool. This will help them stay together better.✔ Turn them as little as possible on the grill. Just 3 minutes per side should be adequate. However, do make sure these burgers are cooked thoroughly due to the sausage content.
