It’s Tuesday!
There is a part of me that wants to whine about the crazy weather but I am not gonna. I refuse to let Mother Nature torment me to the point where I become one of those people. You heard it right here. I will not let you own me Mother Nature, I will not!
Let’s talk about breakfast for a hot second. I have always been more of the salty savory kind of breakfast person. I enjoy pancakes (aka “panacakes”) and waffles, but nothing beats eggs and [insert breakfast meat here] in my book. I am not even shy about my carnivorous tendencies. Me-Like-Meat!
I come from a brunch family. We were doing brunch before brunch became a thing. Almost every Sunday I would wake up to the smell of my mom making brunch in a cast iron skillet. There was usually some type of hash where she was making use of leftover veggies from dinner the night before. If she was feeling extra festive she would put those veggies in to a frittata, or an egg pizza as we called them. On those days when she channeled her southern roots we were eating grits with scrambled eggs. Bacon was almost always present except when she would cook up our favorite maple sausage.
When mom wasn’t making brunch we had dad behind the grill (stove?). You may have already seen my dad’s contribution to the brunch lineup here. That’s right, chorizo and eggs was all him. I grew up eating chorizo when others had no idea what chorizo was. Now, everyone is all about chorizo. I am not surprised. Chorizo is delicious. Everyone should be eating it. Go out right now and buy all the chorizo. I mean, don’t you want to have these epic sandwiches every morning? Yeah, I thought so!
Notes
If patties are not fully cooked place in the oven at 325 until done.

Hi Cait!
I got the Chorizo for this post at Whole Foods but my usual go to is Reyna Foods in the strip. They have great chorizo! Hope that helps.
Awesome, thank you!
Uh, genius. Like seriously, why did I never think to make a chorizo burger for breakfast!? All these years without such beauty! Need to try these ASAP!
I grew up eating chorizo on the regular so of course I had no problems making it a burger.
