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.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The burger was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with bacon.

I couldn't find pimiento cheese at my local grocery store, so I made my own using this recipe: [link]. It turned out great and the burger was delicious!

This burger was a bit too messy for my taste, but the flavor was amazing. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less pimiento cheese next time.

I was skeptical about the pimiento cheese, but it actually worked really well with the burger. The bacon added a nice smoky flavor. Overall, a great recipe!
