SOUTHERN PIMENTO CHEESE BURGERS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- To prepare Pimento Cheese, in a medium mixing bowl, combine Cheddar and Jack cheeses, mayonnaise, cream cheese, pimento peppers, pickle juice, horseradish sauce, and mustard; mix until well combined.
- To prepare Honey Slaw, in a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, honey, and cabbage; mix until well combined.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes, flipping once. Drain on paper towels. Pour off almost all of the bacon fat from the pan, leaving a very thin layer.
- To make the patties, combine the beef, country ham, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties to fit the buns.
- Using the same grill pan as before, cook the hamburgers over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side or until cooked medium rare.
- Meanwhile, place buns on a rack in the oven. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes. Also, place the plates that the burgers will be served on in the oven to heat.
- To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of Pimento Cheese on the cut sides of the buns. On each bun bottom (on top of the Pimento Cheese), place a thin layer of Honey Slaw. Top the slaw with a burger patty, 2 slices of bacon, and crushed potato chips. Add the bun tops. Place the completed hamburgers on a nonstick baking sheet and bake in the oven for 1 minute. Serve burgers on warm plates.
THROWDOWN'S GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGERS
In New Mexico, the state vegetable is the chile pepper, where they're layered atop beef for an iconic dish: the Green Chile Cheeseburger. Sometimes topping the Scoville chart, and sometimes mildly spicy, these burgers are defined by a relish of mixed chiles and a handsome dose of melted cheese. Bobby's recipe has poblano, Hatch and serrano chiles with honey and red wine vinegar to balance. Pickled red onions add tang, and a Monterey Jack-Parmesan queso sauce brings it home with creamy rich flavor.

Steps:
- Burgers:
- For the queso sauce:
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, increase the heat to high and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese until melted; add the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm.
- For the relish:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- For the pickled red onions:
- Bring vinegar, water, sugar and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Put the onions in a medium bowl, pour the vinegar over, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours before serving.
- For the burgers:
- Heat a griddle or large saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and let it heat until it begins to shimmer.
- Shape the ground beef with your hands into 4 round patties about 1 1/2 inches thick and season each burger on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the burgers until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium, about 8 minutes.
- Put the burgers on the buns and top each with a few tablespoons of the queso sauce, relish, onions and chips.
BOBBY FLAYS PIMENTO CHEESE FOR BURGERS
A Pimento Cheese Bobby intends to use on burgers. You might be lucky if it lasts that long. For the cheese I used a Wisconsin Extra sharp cheddar and a white New Zealand sharp cheddar. One jar of roasted red peppers rounded out the mix.

THE BOBBY FLAY BURGER
Back in 2003, before he was a fast-food impresario, Bobby Flay gave this recipe for a Cubano-style burger to Jonathan Reynolds of The Times. "The best burgers are made on an iron surface and cooked medium, so they're not too soft and you can get a crust," he said at the time. "If you press your burger bun like a Cubano, you get crisp on the outside, soft on the inside." He adorned the patty with two slices of Swiss, smoked ham and pickles, then slipped the package into the bun and pressed it hard on the grill. "We are not ready for micro greens on our national dish," he said. The result continues to amaze.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese will give the pimento cheese a bolder flavor.
- Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make the pimento cheese grainy.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using it. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don't overmix the pimento cheese. Overmixing can make it tough.
- Chill the pimento cheese for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help it firm up and make it easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Bobby Flay's Pimento Cheese is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for burgers, sandwiches, crackers, and even vegetables. It's also a great make-ahead recipe, so you can have it on hand whenever you need it.
