The Southern Burger
Juicy grilled burgers topped with two southern favorites: pimento cheese and fried green tomatoes. Ingredients For the burgers 4 burger buns 4 ground beef patties (~1/3 lb each) Worcestershire Salt Pepper 1/2 cup Pimento cheese Lettuce For the fried green tomatoes: 2-3 green tomatoes, sliced ~1/3-inch thick 2 Tbsp flour 2 Tbsp cornmeal Salt Pepper Olive or vegetable oil, for frying (mister recommended) Instructions Heat your grill to high. To make the tomatoes, heat a non stick pan sprayed with oil over medium high heat. Add flour, cornmeal, a pinch of salt and pepper to a ziptop bag and shake to mix well. Add tomato slices and shake to coat.
Fry tomato slices in batches until golden brown on each side. (Add additional oil between batches.) Remove to a paper towel-lined plate until ready to assemble burgers. Each side of the hamburger patties should get a dash of Worcestershire and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the patties to desired doneness. Before removing them from the grill, top each with ~2 Tbsp of pimento cheese and let cook 1 minute more to melt the cheese. To assemble the burger, top the bottom bun with the cooked burger, fried green tomato slices, lettuce, and any condiments of choice. Notes Yields: 4 servings Estimated time: 30 minutes
