Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons cream cheese, (softened)
  • 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimientos, (may not need whole jar, drained well)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1.25 pounds ground chuck
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • red leaf lettuce
  • 4 burger buns, (toasted if desired)

Instruction

  • To make pimento cheese, combine cheeses, mayonnaise, cream cheese, pimentos, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl and mix together well using a wooden spoon. Note: I use about 3/4 of the jar of pimentos, but you can use the whole jar if desired. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Gently work the Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper into the ground chuck. Shape into 4 or 5 patties, depending on how large you want them. Make a depression in the center of each patty. They will cook flatter and become less dome-shaped.
  • Grill burgers on a grill or grill pan for about 4-6 minutes per side. About a minute or two short of ccoking time, top each burger with about 1/4 cup of pimento cheese to give it time to melt.
  • To serve, place a leaf of lettuce on the bottom of a bun and top with burger.
