I’ve always enjoyed a hamburger right off the grill, and in the Southwest we enjoy chorizo, so I combined the two. Instead of using store-bought condiments, I use fresh ingredients to brighten up the burgers along with some pickled vegetables. I like to serve these burgers with a side of deep-fried Brussels sprouts. —Robert J. Johnson, Chino Valley, Arizona

Ingredients

1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced
6 ounces ground beef or bison
1/4 pound fresh chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 sesame seed hamburger buns, split
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
2 tablespoons peeled and grated horseradish

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk sugar, water and vinegar together until sugar is dissolved. Add red onion and jalapeno; let stand at least 1 hour.

Combine beef and chorizo; shape into two 3/4-in.-thick patties. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 6-8 minutes on each side. Grill buns over medium heat, cut side down, until toasted, 30-60 seconds. Drain pickled vegetables. Serve burgers on buns with spinach, pickled vegetables and horseradish.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
