Portuguese Style Spicy Chorizo Hamburgers / Sliders
Have you ever had Portuguese Style Spicy Chorizo Hamburgers? It’s about time you do! These little sliders are full of spice and flavor and OH so very good!
Today we are celebrating Labor Day.
Well, actually tomorrow we are, but today the our team is celebrating Labor Day with a great line up of awesome recipes perfect for the holiday.
We don’t usually do much on this holiday, but we use it as an excuse to make great food.
Because every holiday goes well with amazing food. Right? And why not some delicious chorizo burgers!?
I only changed these up a little as I went, and we made them “topless sliders” and used the top bun to dip into the sauce, because you will want to soak it all up.
Yes, it’s that good.
I really wanted to stay true to the Portuguese Style, while adding a little extra spice.
We actually used red pepper flakes in the burger, but we tried one with habanero peppers just to see the difference.
The pepper flakes were actually better – they kept the most flavor where it belonged and managed to keep the Portuguese aspect in place – the chorizo adds the rest of the smokey spice. So good.
P.S. Sorry for the photos. I asked my daughter to photograph them and while she did a great job, we really didn’t think about the dish we had them in – you can’t really see the actual burger (or the yummy wine sauce). haha

Recipe for Spicy Portuguese Style Chorizo Sliders
Portuguese Style Spicy Chorizo Burgers / Sliders
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Round
- 1 teaspoon of red chili pepper flakes
- 4 Tablespoons of olive oil
- sea salt & pepper to taste
- 4 Garlic Cloves thinly sliced
- 1 small Chorizo finely chopped
- 1 Cup Red Wine
- 1 Cup Beef Broth
- 2 stems of fresh Parsley chopped
- 2 Tablespoon Butter
- 4 Eggs
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the ground round and the red chili pepper flakes together with your hands. Form the meat into 4 round patties.
- Brush each burger with some olive oil and season with sea salt and ground pepper.
- Set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. I will admit I only did it for about 20 minutes, we were hungry!
- Heat up the grill with a medium flame and cook each burger for approximately 7 minutes for medium rare hamburgers. Flip about halfway and try to keep your flip to only once. This keeps the burgers juicier. Also, refrain from pressing down on the hamburgers with a spatula which will drain them of their juices and make them dry. You don’t want a dry burger.
- Add a tablespoon or two of olive oil to a large frying pan.
- Add the sliced garlic and chopped chorizo. Saute until they start popping. Don’t burn the garlic!
- Now, add the red wine and the beef broth and bring to a boil.
- Once it boils, simmer on low and add the chopped parsley. Isabel recommends putting in a bay leaf, but I didn’t have one. Let me just say that while I have no idea the difference it would have made it was amazing without it. Once the sauce has boiled down and been reduced by half, remove the bay leaf (if you used it) and add the butter until melted and combined.
- Put the burgers in the sauce and remove from heat and allow it to just sit.
- Cook the eggs sunny side up in a separate frying pan in a little bit of butter. (or if you are me, in a lot of butter, because face it – nothing tastes better than it does with butter)
- Remove the eggs and place one on top of each Burger.
- Spoon the Chorizo wine sauce over the eggs.
- Serve. But make sure you serve with crusty bread, rolls or something else to soak up all that delicious sauce. We made ours into sliders, poured the sauce into deep sided dishes and used the “buns/rolls” to soak up all the sauce. Delicious!
These look fabulous! I am going to have to try these for a football game in the near future!
Thanks so much Pam, you’ll love them!
I am like you…I track some recipes for awhile, and then something clicks and I just HAVE to make them! This one looks really good!
That was the case and it was totally worth it!
Oh yeah, chorizo is THAT good! This sounds super addicting!
It really is! It was so good!
I like the idea of adding an egg, Nicole!
I’d love to claim credit, but this is Isabel’s recipe!
I love that I inspired you to try Portuguese Cuisine!
You did and it was amazing. Thank you so much my sweet friend!
Wow, I know my husband will want to start our Labor Day food fest with these for brunch!
Your daughter did a fantastic job with the photography! I could use a photo assistant, let me know her availability!
Cheers!
Thank you, I will tell her you said so! She’ll be so proud!
Excuse me while I go to the store and get the ingredients for this right now! My mouth is watering just reading about it. I have to have this soon – very, very soon.
You have to try them! You will love them!
Hi. So, I’m drooling. That is all.
I was too!
These sound so good. I’m very intrigued by the egg on top. Such an interesting twist.
Lane, so good! Definitely will be making again.
Sliders is the absolute perfect meal for a labor day cookout. And the fried egg is absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much!
Your daughter did a great job! The sliders still look delectable. Gotta love an egg (and chorizo) on top! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Amy! She’s a good little foodie and her photography is getting better and better!

I love chorizo and that egg is the icing on the cake!
It was fantastic. Mmmm…icing, yes please.
I think I need to thoroughly investigate Portuguese cuisine!
It’s totally worth investigating!
I pretty much can’t resist anything with an egg on top like that!
Me either!
Oh My Goodness do these look good. I’ll need to give them a try this week-end. 🙂
You really should. So good!
Yum!!! These look delicious and chorizo is one of my favorites.
First time I’ve ever really cooked with Chorizo – definitely is NOT the last.
Oh wow, I bet that is good with that yummy looking egg on top. I could just dip right in!!
Very good! Soaking up the sauce was amazing!
Wine, Chorizo, AND eggs!?!? WOW and YUMMY!!!!
Yummy! Yes. Isabel is amazing!
Wow – these sound right up my alley! I love the egg on top – can anyone resist a burger or sandwich with an egg on top, I ask? No, you can’t! 🙂
No, I definitely can’t!
wow…these sound awesome! All these ingredients together sound perfect.
They really were perfect!
There are so many good things going on at once in this recipe! The chorizo cooked in wine sounds amazing, and topping it with an egg… perfect Nicole! Happy Labor Day!
Thank you! Hope you have a fabulous one Paula!
My husband would love this! He is a huge fan of eggs on his burgers, and this looks perfect!
I’ve always loved eggs on burgers, and this done portuguese style is AMAZING!

I am in love with Portuguese cooking!

These sound so amazing. Beef, chorizo and egg all in one dish sounds like a dream come true. Must give these a try
You really must! Isabel knows how to cook food!
These look so good…spicy is always a good thing in my book! I’m sure the egg on top gives it a nice richness too…
I love spicy, so much.
Love me some chorizo, and this recipe looks great!
Ah, so good!
very curious to try out this recipe Nicole. Was the chorizo crumbly like mexican chorizo? Where does one fine Protugese chorizo? I’ve been wanting to try this ever since Isabel was talking about it on the radio. Your dish looks so good. I must try.
Looks awesome, I would love to try this one!!
