With the gorgeous weather starting to set in, it's time to get grillin' again folks! I am making some cheddar bacon burgers tonight, but remembered the chorizo burgers I made a few months back. For those of you not familiar with chorizo, it's a spicy Spanish pork sausage.
I grew up eating it crumbled, mixed with eggs or refried beans, reminding me of the summers I spent in Mexico in my grandmother's kitchen. She would have freshly made flour tortillas for us, butter them up, and fill them with the yummiest things.
As of last year, I had never mixed chorizo with anything other than eggs or beans until I saw a recipe for chorizo burgers. That sounded too good so I decided to make some for a day hiking trip/picnic we had late last summer. For these burgers, I didn't follow the recipe, I just threw a few things I liked together and cooked them up after our hike. I also made them bunless, but you are more than welcome to bun it up, m'kay?
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 2.5 oz link uncooked chorizo sausage (I like Ole Mexican Foods brand)
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 small finely chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
8 slices of bacon, cooked - optional - but who am I kidding? YOU NEED to have bacon.
guacamole - optional
cheddar slices (or your favorite cheese) optional
Method:
Fire (or gas up) your grill
Mix the ground beef with the chorizo, mustard, chopped onion, salt, and pepper until combined. Form into 4 patties. Grill about 10 minutes on each side, or until done to your liking. Top with cheese, guacamole and crisp bacon. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for looking, now go grill up some YUM!
As always, I welcome your comments/thoughts/ideas!
