Juicy burgers topped with bacon and ooey gooey pimento cheese!
Ingredients
PIMENTO CHEESE INGREDIENTS:
4 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
½ cup mayonaise
4 ounce jar pimentos, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
BURGER INGREDIENTS:
1½ pounds ground beef
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 slices of bacon, cooked
4 hamburger buns
1 tomato, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
Instructions
Mix all the ingredients for the Pimento Cheese in a large bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
Portion the ground beef into 4 equal patties. Brush each side with canola oil and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or cast iron pan over high heat. Once your cooking surface is hot, cook the first side for 4 minutes. Flip the burger and cook for 3 minutes. Add a dollop of pimento cheese, cover and cook for one more minute. Total cooking time is 8 minutes for medium doneness. Place the burgers on a plate and loosely tent with foil.
Add the hamburger buns to the grill or pan and toast until lightly browned, about 10 – 30 seconds.
Place a burger on the bottom bun and top with tomato, onion, and bacon. Cover with the top of the bun, serve and enjoy!
