Ingredients

Pimento Cheese:

  • 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

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • A few dashes hot sauce
  • Dash Worcestershire
  • Pinch paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Burgers

  • 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

Method

For the pimento cheese:

1

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.

2

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:

3

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:

4

Preheat a grill to medium heat.

5

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.)

6

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.

7

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.

Cook’s Note

Stuffed patties can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.

  • I just started watching your show 3 weeks ago, why did I wait so long I do not know. I really love it. I love your recipes but when I went to cookies to print out your recipes there were printing with print on top of print and could not even read it. The money you most pay out to use cookies is not worth it. It was terrible to read. and me being 96 I had a hard time reading it. So I went to food network and printed out. the recipe that I wanted. I will have the burgers later in the month. But I think I will use your recipes for a meat loaf and use the same items and etc. and put the cheese in the middle of the meat loaf. I hope it comes out o.k HA!!! anyway I know it will taste good. I am from Georgia and love to know you are on the TV to show southern cooking. There is no one who cooks the spare ribs like the people in Georgia and on the street who have their own cooking etc. and every Saturday they are there. Other shows seems to have Northern cooking which is okay but nothing beats the Southern cooking. Thank you for your show. Good luck to you and your show. Ruth 7/25/2022 “Georgia Peach”

  • Kardea I love your show and have watched every episode. What first drew me to your show were the glimpses of Charleston which is my favorite place to visit. Today I saw your pimento cheese spread recipe and promptly made it. I agree with your mom, it’s the best I’ve ever had!
