Burger Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pimento Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, pimentos, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, mayonnaise, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Form and Cook the Burgers

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two patties. Cook the patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place each beef patty on a bun, top with pimento cheese, crispy bacon, and caramelized onions. Serve immediately.
