• Transfer the chorizo to a large bowl and add the ground pork, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning, salt and cayenne pepper.
• Using your hands, mix gently but thoroughly. Form the mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties, about 8 ounces each.
• Place the patties on the grill and cook to a minimum temperature of 160 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
• Transfer the burgers to a plate or platter and top each one with a slice of cheese.
