Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground beef — Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option. Make sure to handle raw meat with clean hands and cook it thoroughly to prevent any foodborne illnesses.
- Pimentos — If fresh pimentos are not available, you can use jarred pimentos. Drain them well before dicing.
- Hamburger buns — Opt for whole wheat or brioche buns for added flavor and texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the pimento cheese mixture.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for the pimento cheese, such as pepper jack or smoked gouda, to add unique flavors.
- Toast the buns on the grill for a slightly charred and crispy texture.
- Serve the burger with a side of sweet potato fries or coleslaw for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of garlic powder or omit it altogether.
Serving advice
Serve the Pimento Cheeseburger with a side of crispy french fries and a refreshing coleslaw. Add a pickle spear on the side for an extra tangy bite.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, skewer a cherry tomato and a pickle slice onto a toothpick and place it on top of the burger. This adds a pop of color and makes the dish visually appealing.
