Pimento Cheese Hamburger and The Masters; Get the Recipe
By TAPinto Morristown
If you are a golf fan, you may be watching the Masters this weekend. Pimento Cheese and the masters have been linked to each other in the late 1940’s and now has been a staple for those attending the Masters.
If your home watching on your couch, you can still particpate in the tradition by making yourself a Pimento Cheese Hamburger.
Ingredients:
- Hamburger Meat (ground)
- Thick White Bread
- Mayonnaise
- Block of Cheddar Cheese; shredded into 1 cup
- Block of White Cheddar Cheese; shredded into 1 cup
- 4 oz jar of Pimentos
- 1/2 Block of Cream Cheese
- Hot sauce optional
Recipe:
First, make the Pimento Cheese. Shred the two types of cheese. You will need a cup of both. We used an 8oz block and used the entire block. Put the cheese in a large bowl.
Add the entire jar of pimentos, juice and all into the bowl
Add a half block (4 oz) of cream cheese and a cup of Mayo and stir everything together.
We add a dash of hot sauce so that would just depend on what you want your spice level to be.
Put the mixed cheese spread in the fridge so that it set.
Make your burgers. We left the burgers plain since the pimento cheese spread is loaded with flavor. We just formed patties and cooked them on a grill. You can use a stove top or grill or however you make your burgers. Keep in mind that the bread is rectangular, so we smashed our burgers so that they would fill the bread.
Once the burgers are done, we smeared mayo on the outside of both pieces of bread and placed on piece of bread, mayo side down on a griddle. Place the burger on top of that piece of bread, add the Pimento Cheese spread on top of the burger and top with the second slice of bread. Let that get golden brown and then flip.
When both sides of the sandwich is golden, remove the sandwich, slice it up and enjoy!
