How to Make Southern Pimento Cheese Burger By Harold Cohen Ultimate Burger
- **Make the Pimento Cheese:**
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 4 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup pimento peppers (drained and chopped), 2 tbsp pickle juice, 1 tbsp horseradish sauce, and 1 tbsp yellow mustard.
- Mix until thoroughly combined.
- **Make the Honey Slaw:**
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 2 tbsp honey.
- Add 2 cups shredded cabbage and mix until evenly coated.
- **Cook the Bacon:**
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 6 slices of bacon and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy.
- Remove bacon and drain on paper towels. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
- **Make the Burger Patties:**
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 4 oz thinly sliced country ham (diced), 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties slightly larger than your buns. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging.
- Cook the patties in the reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
- While the patties cook, toast the buns on a rack in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
- Also, warm the serving plates in the oven.
- **Assemble the Burgers:**
- Spread a generous amount of pimento cheese on the cut sides of the toasted buns.
- On each bottom bun, layer a thin spread of honey slaw, a burger patty, 2 slices of cooked bacon, and crushed potato chips.
- Top with the bun tops.
- Place the assembled burgers on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 1 minute to melt the cheese and warm the buns.
- Serve immediately on the warm plates.
