These things are awesome. Got the recipe from a magazine called Cuisine at home. I've started to play with the recipe a bit, since everyone in my family loves spicy food, I've added some fresh Hatch Green Chile's in with the cheese, and chipotle, or Tabasco mayo works well for a little extra kick. Here's the original recipe out of the magazine tho. Ingredients:
2 ounces cream cheese |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
salt |
cayenne (to taste) |
2 ounces pimientos, sliced, drained |
2 lbs ground chuck |
salt and pepper (to taste) |
4 slices onions (1/4-inch think) |
4 kaiser rolls, split, toasted |
12 slices bacon, thick sliced, cooked |
green leaf lettuce |
tomato, sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Process the cream cheese, mayo, cheddar, and seasonings for the Pimiento Cheese. Add Pimientos, pulse to combine.
3. Shape ground chuck into eight 4-oz. portions on wax paper. Press each portion into a 4 patty using a fork, then season with salt and pepper.
4. Top 4 patties with a slice of onion. Cover with remaining patties, seal edges with a fork, and season again. Grill burgers on an oiled grate for 4 minutes; flip, and cook 2 minutes more.
5. Spoon 1/4 cup Pimiento Cheese on each burger, grill 2 minutes longer. Serve on kaiser rolls with bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
