Ingredients
Pimiento Cheese:
4 cups grated Cheddar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup jarred pimientos
1 tablespoon pickle relish
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce, as needed, optional
Burgers:
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the buns
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 sesame seed buns
8 slices crispy cooked bacon
Bibb lettuce, for topping
Pickles slices, for topping
Hot sauce, for serving, optional
Directions
- For the pimiento cheese: Put the Cheddar, mayonnaise, pimientos, relish, onion powder, salt, pepper and hot sauce if using in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- For the burgers: Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Mix the beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper together in a bowl and form the mixture into 4 patties. Cook the patties on the hot griddle to the desired doneness. Butter the insides of the buns and season with salt. Toast on the griddle to golden brown.
- Smear the insides of the buns with a thick layer of the pimiento cheese. Top with the crispy bacon, a burger patty, a piece of Bibb lettuce and some pickles. Add a few dashes of hot sauce if desired.
