These burgers were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I might try grilling them next time instead of frying them.

These burgers are a great way to use up leftover ground beef. I also like to add some chopped vegetables, like onions or peppers, to the meat mixture.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the combination of ground beef and chorizo, but it actually works really well. The flavors complement each other perfectly.

I've made these burgers several times now and they're always a hit. I love the way the chorizo adds a little bit of spice and smokiness.

These burgers were a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might try adding some extra moisture next time, like maybe some Worcestershire sauce or ketchup.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
