Description
Juicy stuffed patties filled with a melty cheese center using Cabot Blue Cheese Crumbles, Mrs. Grissom’s Pimento Cheese Spread, and Tillamook Mozzarella. These burgers grill beautifully and pair perfectly with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, pickles, and toasted buns.
Ingredients
Ground beef, 2 pounds
Salt, 1 teaspoon
Black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon
Cabot Blue Cheese Crumbles, 8 ounces
Mrs. Grissom’s Pimento Cheese Spread, 8 ounces
Tillamook Mozzarella, cut into 1 inch cubes, 8 ounces
Hamburger buns such as Nature’s Own Brioche Buns, Arnold Hamburger Rolls, or Dave’s Killer Bread Burger Buns
Lettuce
Sliced tomatoes
Grilled sweet onions
Sliced pickles
Two 7 ounce jars sliced pimientos, drained
Three bricks Tillamook Sharp Cheddar, finely grated
Mayonnaise, 1 cup
Instructions
Mix the ground beef with salt and pepper in a large bowl and blend gently.
Shape the meat into eight evenly sized balls to help them cook at the same rate.
Press a small well into the center of each ball and tuck in a cube or spoonful of your chosen cheese filling.
Fold the beef around the cheese until sealed then flatten gently into patties about one quarter inch thick.
Preheat the grill to medium high heat and brush the grates with a light coat of oil.
Cook the patties on the grill until they reach your preferred level of doneness without pressing them down.
Toast the buns on the grill until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, and pickles.
For the pimiento spread blend the drained pimientos until smooth then whip together with the grated Tillamook Sharp Cheddar.
Add the mayonnaise and continue mixing until creamy and well combined.
Notes
Use cheese varieties like Cabot Blue Cheese Crumbles, Mrs. Grissom’s Pimento Cheese Spread, and Tillamook Mozzarella for smooth melting and great flavor.
Avoid overmixing the beef so the patties stay tender during grilling.
Chill shaped patties for several minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape and keep the cheese inside.
Fresh toppings like lettuce and tomatoes add balance to the rich stuffed patties and round out the burger experience.
