Pimento cheese is a staple in Southern kitchens. It is served at any and every occasion and each family has their own recipe. This recipe melds pimento cheese with a classic cheeseburger. Pimento cheese, a combination of cream cheese, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, and pimento peppers, is stuffed inside burger patties. When the meat is cooking, the cheese melts and becomes gooey and delicious. You can top these burgers with the usual condiments or keep with the southern tradition and add slices of fried green tomatoes.

2 tablespoons cream cheese
