Chorizo Heaters

So I have been working on a few recipes. You may call them sliders, I call these Chorizo Meatloaf Heaters. We have some with Chipotle Adobo glaze, Pineapple Jalapeno glaze and Spicy Ketchup glaze. They were a big hit.

    Looks great. Reminds me that I don't cook with sausage nearly enough.

    Shameless bump.

    Had someone ask me how I made all of the patties so here is the picture.

    Pack it in a loaf pan. Freezer for 1 hour then sliced into 13 slices the each in half. Did not want to try and make these individually.

    Nice.  I try to incorporate chorizo into as many recipes as possible.  Last pizza I made was a chorizo one.  Delicious.

    It is really simple.

    2lb 90/10 ground sirloin

    1lb ground pork

    10oz beef chorizo

    1 cup bread crumbs, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tbs smoked paprika, 1 tsp honey, 1 tbs minced garlic, 2 tbs oregano, 2 tbs chili powder, 1 1/2 tsps. salt and pepper each and dash lime juice.

    Mix all in a bowl. Line loaf pan with cling wrap, load it up and cover with foil. Frezzer for about 1 hour to stiffen up. Then pop it out on to cutting board. Slice each piece at about 1/2 to 3/4 then each slice in half.

    Egg indirect at 400 dome with drip pan for 15 min. then apply a glaze of choice, liberally. Cook till at least 165 in the center. Reapply a light glaze when pulled. Serve on sweet King Hawaiian rolls.

    These did not last.

    Pineapple Jalapeño was the winner of the 3 glazes.

    Need to give the credit to the one I got it from.

    The recipe came from a nice gentleman we met at the First Inaugural Athens Eggfest at the Texas State Freashwater Fisheries a couple of years ago. He had cooked up a chorizo meat loaf. We made a few tweaks. I simply went with the sliders so it would be easily served.

    Thanks Griff. Last night we had the leftovers and did them like burgers. Buns, ketchup, pickles and American cheese. Wow they were even better. I did the first run with naked patties and King rolls only. Next time we will have the Chipotle Adobo and spicy ketchups as added condiments to apply to the buns.

    Those look great.  I love the sound of the recipe and the technique. 


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Remember to create your glaze for the top and apply towards the end of the cook. Would you like the recipe of one of the glazes we used?

    Here are the recipes for our Pineapple Jalapeno and Spicy Ketchup glazes as requested:

    Pineapple Jalapeno

    1/3 cup of Crushed Pineapple

    1 tablespoon of diced jalapenos (we used the ones from a jar)

    1 teaspoon of Honey

    1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

    pinch of salt

    1 tablespoon of the jalapeno juice

     

    Spicy Ketchup

    1/3 cup Ketchup

    1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire Sauce

    1 tablespoon of Brown Sugar

    3/4 teaspoon of “Big Al’s Hell From Texas Rub

     

    For either one - apply heavily halfway through the cook and reapply within 2 minutes of taking off the egg. Can also be used as a condiment on the buns.
