Pimento Cheeseburgers Recipe
Perfectly seasoned ground chuck patties, topped with an addictive cheese spread, on a bed of crispy lettuce - these Pimento Cheeseburgers are the ultimate homemade burgers!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chuck or favorite burger mix
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¾ cup pimento cheese spread homemade or store-bought
- 4 burger buns toasted
Optional Toppings
- lettuce, mayo, relish, tomatoes
Instructions
- Divide and cook the ground chuck into 4 burger patties. See below for the various ways to cook your burgers.
- When the burgers are almost done, remove from heat.
- Top with ¼ cup pimento cheese spread and place the lid on the pan. Leave the lid on the pan 1 minute or until the cheese is heated through and melting.
- Place the burgers on the buns, add the toppings and condiments, and serve.
Notes
- Flip your burgers once, when a brown crust has formed. This allows for an even and perfect crisp texture without overcooking the insides.
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure your burgers have reached an internal temperature of 160˚F, as per the USDA. Some people like them rare, but if you have young kids and the elderly, you want to keep to the safety guidelines.
- A soft bun is perfect for burgers; it won't leave you with a mouthful of bread. It will mold itself around the ingredients for the perfect bite every time.
