I made these a couple weeks ago, I thought they were pretty tasty:





Ingredients





* 1/4 pound bacon, chopped


* 1/2 cup minced red onions


* 3 tablespoons fresh uncooked chorizo, out of casing


* Salt and freshly ground black pepper


* 2 pounds ground chuck, 80/20 mix


* 1/2 pound Swiss cheese, thinly sliced, about 8 slices


* 4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted





Directions





In a medium pan over medium to high heat, add bacon and onions, cook until the bacon is rendered but not crisp. Add the chorizo and cook until done. Remove the bacon mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.





Divide ground chuck into 8 equal parts. Form into a loose ball, and create 4-inch patties. Layer 1 piece of cheese onto the center of 1 patty. Top with 1/4 bacon mixture, another slice of cheese, then add another patty on top and gently seal edges and form into a patty, about 4 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches high. Repeat with the remaining patties to make a total of 4 large patties.





Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Place all 4 patties in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on 1 side, then gently turn over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and pop it in a 250 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
ok this is not ';gourmet'; but really fun





make your burger patty with your fave. seasonings





instead of making one big patty split it into two thinner patties of the same size





place on top of one patty bacon and cheddar, or jalapenos, or just cheese.





place the other patty on top and seal the edges for a stuffed hamburger





Grill and enjoy.





I like to put BBQ sauce on for a twist.





To add different flavor to your patty try Worcestershire sauce w/ the seasonings or teriyaki glaze
- Ground Grass-fed Beef (or Ostrich, Bison, Elk, Emu, Lamb, Goat or Venison) mixed with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, olives, spinach %26amp; minced onion
Make your own.





Select a nice piece of steak.


Cut good sized onion rings.


Portobello Mushrooms.


Sliced Tomatoes.


and of course slicd beetroot and some coleslaw.
