Pimiento Cheese Topping

• ½ cup shredded yellow sharp cheddar (about 6 oz.)
• 1 ½ oz. (3 tbsp.) cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 tbsp. sour cream
• 1 ½ tsp. yellow mustard
• 1 small clove garlic, grated or pasted
• ½ tsp. Frank’s RedHot or other hot sauce
• ½ tsp. granulated onion
• ½ tsp. smoked paprika
• ½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• ⅓ cup well-drained diced pimiento peppers (from a 4-oz. jar)

Burgers

• 8 slices meaty bacon
• 1 ½ lb. g round beef sirloin (80% lean) or ground turkey
• Salt and pepper
• About 3 to 4 tbsp. grated onion with juices
• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp. safflower oil or canola oil

Fixings

• 4 sesame seed burger buns (I like Big Marty’s)
• Sliced bread-and-butter pickles, chopped white onion, lettuce, and sliced tomato, for topping

","preparation":"

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°. For the topping, in a food processor, puree all the ingredients except the pimientos. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the pimientos.

Step 2

Arrange the bacon on a slotted broiler pan or a wire rack set in a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

In a bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper. Mix in the grated onion with juices and the Worcestershire. Form into 4 patties (thinner in the centers for even cooking). Heat a large griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high to high. Add the oil, one turn of the pan. Add the patties and cook, turning occasionally, for 7 to 9 minutes.

Step 4

Build the burgers with the bun bottoms, pickles, chopped onion, the patties, pimiento cheese topping, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and bun tops.
