This recipe is perfect for grilling—these are burgers with a special twist, mixing in the flavor of chorizo. I was inspired by burgers I tried from the Uruguayan cook Alicia, but here I added another meat—pork chorizo. I always recommend using high-quality meats for the best results.

Steps

1

Remove the casing from the chorizo sausages. Place the ground beef and chorizo meat in a bowl and mix together with your hands until well combined.
2

Add the eggs, seasonings, and grated cheese. Continue mixing (keep in mind that chorizo is usually seasoned, so adjust the amount of extra seasoning to taste).
3

Add the breadcrumbs and just a splash of milk to keep the mixture juicy.
4

I used a small round mold to shape the patties, filling it almost to the top so they come out large and firm. I didn’t grease the mold—just shaped the patties and released them with the tip of a knife. You can also shape them by hand like flattened meatballs if you prefer.
5

Unmold each patty onto a piece of plastic wrap and wrap them up. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. I made 7 large patties with these amounts.
6

Chill until ready to use (I froze them overnight).
7

When your grill is ready, place the paty-chori burgers on it. Grill for about 40 minutes total, about 20 minutes per side. Check for doneness by piercing and checking the juices (they won’t shrink if you use good quality, lean meats).
8

Serve with chimichurri provolone cheese and some French fries cooked in an air fryer.
