Burger Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Season the Ground Beef

    In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix gently until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties that are about ¾ inch thick.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Cook the Burger

  1. 4

    Grill the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with ½ cup of pimiento cheese. Cover the skillet or grill to melt the cheese.

Prepare the Toppings

  1. 6

    Slice the Tomato

    Wash and slice the medium tomato into thick slices.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each brioche bun, place a cooked burger patty topped with melted pimiento cheese. Add crispy bacon and a slice of tomato on top. Place the other half of the bun on top to complete the burger.
