Best 3 Southern Pimento Cheese From Harold Cohens Ultimate Burger Recipes

SOUTHERN PIMENTO CHEESE BURGER BY HAROLD COHEN - ULTIMATE BURGER

Steps:

• MAKE 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.
• MAKE HONEY SLAW:.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, and cabbage; mix until well combined.
• COOK BACON:.
• 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.
• MAKE PATTIES:.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (for toasting buns).
• 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. Make an indentation in the middle of the top of each pattie to ensure even cooking.
• 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 at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, place the plates that the burgers will be served on in the oven to heat.
• ASSEMBLE 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.
