Ingredients
- Pimiento Cheese Topping:
- 1/2 cup shredded yellow sharp cheddar
- 3 tbsp. cream cheese, at room temp
- 2 tbsp. sour cream
- 1 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- 1/2 tsp Frank's RedHot sauce
- 1/2 tsp granulated onion
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire
- 1/3 cup well-drained diced pimiento peppers
- Burgers:
- 8 slices meaty bacon
- 1 1/2 lb. ground beef sirloin
- Salt and pepper
- 3 to 4 tbsp. grated onion with juices
- 2 tbsp. Worcestershire
- 1 tbsp. canola oil
- Fixings:
- 4 sesame seed burger buns
- Sliced bread-and-butter pickles, chopped white onion, lettuce and sliced tomato, for topping
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375. For the topping, in a food processor, puree all the ingredients except the pimientos. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the pimientos.
-
Arrange the bacon on a slotted broiler pan or a wire-rack set in a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes.
-
In a bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper. Mix in the grated onion with juices and the Worcestershire. Form into 4 patties. Heat a large griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high to high. Add the oil. Add the patties and cook, turning occasionally, for 7 to 9 minutes.
-
Build the burgers with the bun bottoms, pickles, chopped onion, the patties, pimiento cheese topping, bacon, lettuce, tomato and bun tops.
