Summertime Treats- Chorizo Burgers

Summertime is almost here. I'm not to happy about that. My favorite part about summertime is staying inside with the air condition around the 60's. It's the reason why I live on the gulf and still manage to stay incredibly pale. I'd much rather be indoors having fun than in the heat being eaten alive by mosquitoes like they're some sort of salt bath crazed homeless man. I'm from Texas so I can't even say that barbecues are my favorite part. We do that all year. It's not even uncommon to walk outside on Thanksgiving and smell the scent of mesquite smoked chicken and fajitas grilling over the barbecue pit.


I do like cooking seasonally though. This weekend my boyfriend made us all some delicious gourmet chorizo burgers. They were spicy and words can't even describe how yummy they were. He cooked these on an indoor George Foreman grill, but we have cooked these over a barbecue pit before and it's even more delicious.

Chorizo Burgers 

• 8 oz Mexican chorizo 
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbs McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger Seasoning
• hamburger buns
• cheddar or pepper jack cheese
• lettuce, tomato, avocado, sliced onions

Mix the chorizo, beef , eggs and seasoning together in a large bowl then form into about 8 oz patties.

Place over heated grill and grill until cooked all they way, which should be about 4-5 minutes per side.
Once done, place patties on a baking sheet and put cheese on top.

To help melt the cheese put them into an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1-2 minutes or until chesse is fully melted.

Place on buns and top with your choice of chopped veggies.
