Pimento cheese-stuffed burgers are the BOMB, y’all! I admit I have a weakness for amazing, mouthwatering burger concoctions. You know, the kind that oozes with a ridiculous amount of layered ingredients that blend together like peanut butter and jelly. I’m getting hungry just daydreaming about them.
Typically, I’m not a bun fan…I know, GASP. I really just like the stuff inside the bun. Lettuce wraps are awesome. Iceberg or romaine lettuce, topped with a juicy burger, and loaded up with veggies and toppings. That’s how I like to roll. Plus, I get to skip the processed bread and make it a healthier meal. That, to me, is burger bliss.
However, occasionally when I’m craving the bun, Hawaiian sweet buns or brioche buns are over-the-top good with this flavor combo. I put together a few of my favorite things for this burger creation…beef, bacon and pimento cheese to create an umami sensation. This burger, my friends, is “slap yo’ mama good!!” Save it for a splurge day, because you definitely deserve it!
