Burgers Stuffed with Pimento Cheese
Using our hamburger press, it’s quick and easy to prepare burgers with savory fillings. Here, beef burgers are stuffed with a Southern favorite—pimento cheese—and then grilled. Tuck the burgers inside toasted buns and top with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion.
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 oz. diced pimento peppers, rinsed and drained well
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
- Lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced pickles and sliced red onion for
serving
Directions:
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill.
In a bowl, stir together the cheese, pimentos and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Divide the ground beef into eight 3-oz. portions and shape each into a ball. Using a stuffed hamburger press according to the manufacturer’s instructions, make 4 burgers, stuffing each with 2 Tbs. of the pimento cheese. Season the burgers with salt and pepper. Brush the cut sides of the buns with the melted butter.
Grill the burgers, turning once, about 4 minutes per side. Toast the buns, cut side down, on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Place the burgers on the buns and serve with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion. Serves 4.
