Ingredients
- 1/4 pound bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup minced red onions
- 3 tablespoons fresh uncooked chorizo, casing removed
- 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
- Worcestershire Tomato Ketchup, recipe follows
Directions
In a medium pan over medium to high heat, add bacon and onions and cook until the bacon is rendered but not crisp. Add the chorizo and cook until done. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the bacon mixture to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
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 the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, place burgers onto rolls and serve with Worcestershire Tomato Ketchup.
Worcestershire Tomato Ketchup:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 8 Roma tomatoes, skinned, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch allspice
- Pinch celery salt
- Pinch mustard seed
In medium saute pan over medium heat, add oil and onions. Cook until brown and caramelized. Add the tomatoes, and garlic and cook for a few minutes, just to soften the vegetables. Then add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.
You can either serve the ketchup chunky or cool and puree in a blender until smooth.

Absolutely delicious; however, they were VERY thick and took forever to grill. Next time, I'll probably break the ground beef into 8 pieces instead of 4.

As you say this burger is MONEY! I have made this burger for more that 40 co workers and all I here is when are you going to make those burgers again! The only thing with mine is I use two pieces of cheese so that the, one on each patty

Great burger. I used pepper jack instead of the Swiss cheese. My kids like their burgers well done, and this recipe keeps them from being all dried out. The ketchup is wonderful.
