Chorizo Burgers

A summing up of tonight's dinner in two words would be: Failed Experiment. I make Chorizo Burgers, chopping and sauteeing onion and chopping chorizo into small pieces and mixing it with seasoned beef mince a dash of Worcester sauce and a dash of soy sauce, before shaping into burgers and leaving them to rest. I sometimes add breadcrumbs to the mix to allow the meat to retain some moisture, but adding the chorizo and knowing how fatty they are, I thought they weren't necessary. I was wrong.
So after heating up a griddle pan and smoking my flat out, I griddle the burgers for a few minutes on each side and serve up in toasted buns, one with ketchup and the other with mayonnaise, both with peppery cress, but both disappointingly dry and unseasoned. They look great, but don't taste all that. Fail.
