Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar, room temperature
1/3 cup shredded Monterey jack, room temperature
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, room temperature
2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
2 ounces jarred diced pimento peppers, drained
1 tablespoon bread and butter pickle juice
1/2 tablespoon horseradish sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/4 cups shredded cabbage
8 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
1 1/4 pounds ground chuck
1/4 pound cured and smoked country ham, finely chopped (or chopped in a food processor)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 potato hamburger buns, split
1/2 cup crushed kettle-cooked plain potato chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To prepare Pimento Cheese, in a medium mixing bowl, combine Cheddar and Jack cheeses, mayonnaise, cream cheese, pimento peppers, pickle juice, horseradish sauce, and mustard; mix until well combined.
  • To prepare Honey Slaw, in a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, honey, and cabbage; mix until well combined.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes, flipping once. Drain on paper towels. Pour off almost all of the bacon fat from the pan, leaving a very thin layer.
  • To make the patties, combine the beef, country ham, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties to fit the buns.
  • Using the same grill pan as before, cook the hamburgers over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side or until cooked medium rare.
  • Meanwhile, place buns on a rack in the oven. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes. Also, place the plates that the burgers will be served on in the oven to heat.
  • To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of Pimento Cheese on the cut sides of the buns. On each bun bottom (on top of the Pimento Cheese), place a thin layer of Honey Slaw. Top the slaw with a burger patty, 2 slices of bacon, and crushed potato chips. Add the bun tops. Place the completed hamburgers on a nonstick baking sheet and bake in the oven for 1 minute. Serve burgers on warm plates.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

8 ounces extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, shredded
4 ounces white Cheddar (preferably Vermont Cheddar), shredded
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces diced pimentos, drained and juice reserved
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
A few dashes hot sauce
Dash Worcestershire
Pinch paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound 80/20 ground beef
1 pound ground pork
2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for oiling grill grates
4 hamburger buns, buttered and toasted
For serving: lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles, sliced red onion

Steps:

  • For the pimento cheese: Add the Cheddars, cream cheese, pimentos and mayo to a bowl and mix together. Add the chives, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika and salt and pepper and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Place the cheese mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap and form into a log. Freeze for a few minutes or refrigerate up to overnight.
  • For the sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, Worcestershire, paprika and 1 tablespoon reserved pimento juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the burgers: Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  • Mix the meats, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, egg, salt and pepper together in a bowl with your hands until completely combined. Divide the meat into 8 portions and shape each into large thin patties. Slice four 1/2-inch slices off the pimento cheese log (reserve the rest for another use...snacking!). Place a pimento cheese slice on four of the patties and then top them with the remaining four patties, sealing the sides of the patties to enclose the cheese. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Lightly oil the grill grates. Add the patties to the hot grill and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Spread the sauce on the buttered buns. Top each with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions and a patty and close the burgers. Eat with lots of napkins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese is a classic choice for pimento cheese burgers, but you can also use a milder cheese like Colby or Monterey Jack. If you want a more flavorful burger, try using a combination of cheeses.
  • Don't overmix the pimento cheese. Overmixing will make the cheese tough and rubbery. Simply mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your burgers will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful pickles.
  • Season the burgers well. Season the burgers with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will help to give them a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the burgers to your desired doneness. Pimento cheese burgers can be cooked to any desired doneness, from rare to well-done. However, we recommend cooking them to a medium-rare or medium doneness so that they remain juicy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pimento cheese burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a burger that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give pimento cheese burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
