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.

I love the idea of stuffing burgers with pimento cheese. It's a great way to add flavor and moisture to the burgers.

These burgers were delicious! I used a sharp cheddar cheese for the pimento cheese filling, and it gave the burgers a nice kick. I also added some chopped jalapeƱos to the filling for a little extra spice. They were a big hit with my family and frien

I love the combination of flavors in these burgers. The pimento cheese is creamy and tangy, the bacon is salty and smoky, and the onion rings add a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again!

These burgers were a lot of work to make. I don't think they were worth the effort.

I found the pimento cheese filling to be a bit bland. I think I would have preferred it if it had more flavor.

These burgers were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if I had used a leaner ground beef.

I've made these burgers twice now and they are always a crowd-pleaser. The pimento cheese is the perfect filling for a burger, and the bacon and onion rings add a nice touch.
