WE CAN NEVER REPAY NOAH FOR GRABBING TWO PIGS:

Sausage burger (Frita Cubana) (Charles Perry, Los Angeles Times)

1 (2 1/2-ounce) link pepperoni or Spanish-style chorizo
1 pound boneless chuck, trimmed of fat
4 hamburger buns
Ketchup
Chopped onions
1/4 cup shoestring potatoes

1. Grind sausage or process in food processor to size of peppercorns or smaller. Add chuck and process until mixture stands up on blade.

2. Remove meat and pick through to remove connective tissue. Form into 4 patties. Grill over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes per side.
