Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup drained and finely diced roasted red peppers
12 ounces extra-sharp white Cheddar, coarsely grated
12 ounces extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, coarsely grated
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80/20 percent)
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
8 slices double-smoked bacon, cooked until crisp
4 slices Vidalia or other sweet onion, grilled
4 thin slices ripe beefsteak tomato
1 large dill pickle, thinly sliced
Romaine lettuce leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Whisk the mayonnaise, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Add the red peppers, white Cheddar and yellow Cheddar and gently fold until combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high for direct grilling. Divide the ground chuck into four equal portions, 6 ounces each. Form each portion into a 3/4-inch burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Brush both sides of the burgers with the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a dollop of the cheese mixture on top of each burger and close the grill lid. Cook until the cheese has just melted, about 1 minute.
  • Place the burgers on the buns and top with the bacon, onions, tomatoes, pickles and lettuce if desired.

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h20m

Yield s: 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 ready-to-eat, cooked ham, bone-in, uncut (NOT spiral cut), shank end or butt end (about 8 pounds)
25 cloves
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons clover honey
3 tablespoons light brown muscovado sugar
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pimento Cheese, recipe follows
Buttermilk Biscuits, recipe follows
1 1/2 pounds extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, coarsely grated
1 cup prepared mayonnaise
1 cup drained and finely diced roasted red peppers
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for greasing
1 1/2 cups cold buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, not super fine and not coarse, somewhere in between
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Remove the ham from the refrigerator 2 hours before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil.
  • Place the ham, fattier side-up, in the prepared pan. Score a diamond pattern in the fat with a sharp knife, about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch deep, and the parallel lines about 1 1/2-inches apart. Do not score the meat itself, just the fat and any skin. You can score the fat to as deep as where the fat meets the meat.
  • Place the cloves in the center of the diamonds to form a nice pattern around the top and sides of the ham. Place the ham in the oven. Cook for 30 minutes.
  • Combine the mustard, honey, sugar and thyme and season with salt and pepper.
  • After 30 minutes, begin basting the ham with the glaze. Continue to cook the ham for another 30 minutes (about 10 minutes per pound) or until an internal temperature of 110 to 120 degrees F is reached.
  • Remove the ham from the oven and let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Slice into paper thin slices.
  • To serve, spread Pimento Cheese on the bottom of the Buttermilk Biscuits and layer with thin slices of glazed ham.
  • Combine the cheese, mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, cayenne powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.;
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with butter or line with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Combine until the ingredients are incorporated. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and gently mix until the mixture just begins to come together.
  • Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 2-inch squares or use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Press together the scraps of dough, and repeat the process. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with the black pepper. Bake the biscuits until lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Brush the tops with the melted butter. Cool on a baking rack.

PAULA DEEN'S PIMENTO CHEESE



Paula Deen's Pimento Cheese image

This Southern classic is adapted from a recipe by Paula Deen, the television chef, cookbook author and restaurateur, but pimento cheese has long been indispensable for parties, gatherings and afternoon feasts. The heat from the garlic powder and grated onion cuts through the creaminess of the cheese and mayonnaise, and the pimentos give it an unforgettable punch. Serve it with celery, or spread on your favorite crackers or sandwich bread. It's a creamy, cheesy crowd-pleaser.
