Chorizo Burgers
This will become a regular burger in our house from now on! Ground beef mixed with Chorizo, cheddar cheese and seasonings then topped with your favorite kind of cheese. Add all your regular hamburger toppings for a great tasting burger! There is so much flavor in this burger that it has become my favorite burger!
I tripled my recipe and froze the uncooked extra patties. I made three patties for each recipe and they were too large for us. Next time I will make four patties per recipe.
My thanks to Christy as she inspired me to create this burger. Check out her site to see how she made her Chorizo Burger https://afoodieinthesouth.wordpress.com.

Ingredients – Plus all
your favorite toppings.
In a large bowl combine the ground beef
and Chorizo. Add the salt, chili powder
and shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix well with your hands.
Make four patties packing them tight.
Don’t they look amazing!
In a large skillet over medium
low heat, add the oil.
Once the oil is hot add the patties.
Cook until the center of the burger
is 160 degrees. Chorizo is pork so
this is a very important step.
Remove from the pan and serve
with all your favorite toppings.

That sounds great, Diane. I have never tried that. If people are not familiar with chorizo, I encourage them to try a few brands to find a good one. In the States, I was only familiar with some slimy, little, encased mushes. When I lived in Mexico, I discovered how good it could be. Now, back in the States, I know what I am looking for and it makes all the difference.
Interesting I didn’t know there were different types. At our store there isn’t a choice and I buy it in pound packages ground up. All I know is it tasted really delicious and I will be making many more. Thank you ❤️
I’ve mixed in Italian sausage because NOLA Boy is mad for sausage of any kind. Haven’t tried chorizo, though. That’s a splendid hint! Gonna try it, fur sure. ;->
Virtual hugs,
Judie
Enjoy it is my new favorite burger. I seriously will eat these instead of hamburgers from now on. Thank you Judilyn!
They really DO look amazing, Diane! 😍 – I’ll send this recipe directly to a friend of mine! Thank you! 😊
VVN
You’re welcome!!!!
Love this idea – and love the thought of making and freezing patties for later. Thanks!
I already had to have another one….lol It tasted as good after freezing as they did fresh. Thank you Rosemarie!
Super yum! You make us all want to head over your house for dinner 🙂
The freezer is full stop on by!!!! Lol
🙂
Hubby loves chorizo, so next time I make him burgers, I’ll give this a go.
Let me know what he thinks Sheree. This is seriously my new favorite burger!!!!
Will do!
This looks delicious. I love the way you took it and made it your own. I’ m going to definitely have to try yours. I have never thought to put cheese in with the meat… I’ve had it stuffed in a burger, but not mixed in. I love this idea!
It worked really well because it just gave the burger more flavor. It didn’t ooze out yet the cheese on top is where you noticed the cheese flavor. I usually have pepper jack cheese but I was out. I wanted to put that on top but the American cheese was also very good on it. Thanks again Christy for making this my new favorite burger! ❤️
You’re so welcome!
Now I’m hungry. 🙂
Hahaha this will definitely fill you up!
This looks so good. I’ve had Spanish Chorizo in other foods but never thought of having some in a burger. The burgers must have had so much flavor. I will give this a try the next time we have burgers.
They really did!!!! What surprised me, besides the wonderful taste, was that they were so moist. Thank you!!!
Diane
Your chorizo burger looks so delish. I am borrowing your idea of freezing the extra patties and your step by step pictures are quite helpful. Thanks
Thank you! I did that because we bought a pound of chorizo and I surely wasn’t going to waste it! We thawed out two burgers last night for supper and they were just as good as fresh. I put waxed paper between the burgers and then put them in a freezer bag.
Interesting mixing hamburger and chorizo, I’ll have to try this!
They turned out really moist and delicious. Enjoy!!!!!
Chorizo on its own is great and a burger is a gift from above. So, a chorizo burger sounds like what they may feed you in heaven. I will give it a try!
Hahahaha I like the way you think JC!
we’ll try it soon. Sounds and looks delicious
Thank you and enjoy, we sure did!!!!
It looks yummy. This would be perfect for lunch.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner!!! Yes they were that good!!!! I am not crazy about hamburgers because I like rare beef but these were fully cooked, not dried out at all and the taste was delicious!
I am totally going to try this. I love chorizo
It was an amazing taste Tina!!!! I could make a bunch of these and freeze them. We thawed two out for supper last night already! They tasted just as good after freezing them.
I love chorizo but I think I never had it in a burger! Super delicious 😋
Oh you have to try this then. I don’t think I will make a regular burger again….that good! Already took one out of the freezer for supper last night…lol They won’t last long. Thanks!
Looks delicious.
It really was thank you so much!!!!
Wow I love chorizo! And mixed with a burger??! Sigh.
It turned out really tasty you should give it a try. 😋😋😋
Looks good – that would be a “spicy meatball” as the expression goes … a perfect spicy meat patty.
Oh great idea….meatballs!
Yes!!! To go with spaghetti (or a meatball sandwich) – that would be tasty!
Wow delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I will definitely try
Thank you Lydia. ❤️
Love this recipe
Thank you they tasted fabulous. I will eat this over plain ground beef any time!!
Very nice. I love chorizo mixed with hamburger!
Me to…..now! I can’t believe I missed out all these years!
I’m a little mad I didn’t think of this lol Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love the additional ingredients. I bet it is great!!
Thanks Bernice it really was. ❤️
Yum! I love chorizo and really have no idea why I have never considered putting it into our burgers!
We really loved it you should give it a try Zully!
I love chorizo. My favorite burrito is scrambled egg and chorizo. I bet it would be great with meatloaf, too. I used to purchase pre-made burger patties with cheddar cheese and green chilies and bacon in them, or blue cheese, bacon and mushroom. So this recipe sounds great.
I will have to try it in meatloaf and a burrito, that sounds delicious too. Thank you Katelon.
Chorizo and eggs is common in Mexican restaurants, as a plate with rice and beans, and as a breakfast burrito with beans and cheese and sometimes rice. I’ve found places that will serve me the breakfast burrito anytime of day 🙂
Lucky lady!
Great idea! Thanks!
YThank you and you are very welcome!
