Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup pimento cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce, tomato, and onion for topping
Instructions
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. Season each patty with salt and pepper.
- Brush the grill with olive oil and place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.
- While the burgers are cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to make the spicy sriracha mayo.
- When the burgers are almost done, spread the pimento cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
- To assemble the burgers, spread the spicy sriracha mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Place a pimento cheese-topped burger patty on top, then add lettuce, tomato, and onion as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve the pimento cheese burgers with extra sriracha mayo on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
