I love a good burger, who doesn’t right? A few weeks ago at a local grocery store, I found some really good Chorizo, so I thought why not try making Chorizo burgers. Hubby and I were really pleased with the way they came out…very flavorful and juicy. In this recipe I used Swiss cheese, but I think pepper jack would go very nicely too.
Here’s what you need:
ground beef, Chorizo ( I used Mexican Chorizo), Worcestershire Sauce, onion powder, garlic powder and sliced Swiss cheese.
Most Chorizo has garlic and paprika and sometimes a little chili peppers in it, so you don’t need to add much seasoning.
Place the ground beef and Chorizo in a bowl.
Then add the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder and garlic powder.
Mix all together.
Form into patties, making sure to make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty. This will help the patties stay an even shape when cooking.
In a cast iron frying pan, add about 1 to 2 Tbs of canola oil. Heat pan on high heat.
Add patties to the pan and turn heat down to medium high. Cook about 5 minutes.
Gently turn the patties over and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Place cheese slices on top of each patty. As you can see I left one bare, yes on purpose, because I had one request for no cheese. For shame…no cheese. Cheese makes everything better.
Reduce heat to medium low and cover the pan.
Cook for about 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted.
Remove from pan and place on hamburger buns. Top with Guacamole.
Enjoy!
