This week I bring you the value buster! The one meal two ways! This thermomix chorizo cheese burger pastry is the meal that just keeps on giving! As a burger with salad and bacon jam or tomato chutney – DELICIOUS! As a pastry “pie” double delicious!!!
The patty itself is a little addictive and I may have “snacked” on one while waiting for everyone to get home! Well quality control is imperative for food bloggers! 😉
This recipe is quite adaptable to spice variations as well! I can’t wait to try it with my cajun spice mix next!
You know I just had a thought! If you do these as the pastry “pie” why not add a dollop of;
in between the patty and cheese for an extra flavour bomb! 🙂
I come up with the best ideas! If you try it let me know what you used!
Janet, one of my testers for this recipe used filo pastry which she said was delicious!

These are sooo good! We really enjoyed them and made a nice change for an easy weeknight meal. My sons 15yr old friend who was over that night asked me to write the recipe down for his mum to make him!
