    Make the stuffed burgers. Divide the ground beef into eight 1/4 lb. patties. Make one patty on the base, lay down 1/4 of a cheese slice, add 3 oz. of chorizo, and top with another 1/4 cheese slice. Apply another patty on top and pinch the ends all the way around the burger to seal together the two patties. Repeat until all 4 patties are done.
