Two Father's Day Pimento Burgers on a plate in front of potato salad.
Yields8 Servings
Pimento Cheese
 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated (Not Pre-Shredded)
 4 oz Cream Cheese Softened
 4 oz Mayonnaise
 2 oz Sour Cream
 4 oz Jarred Pimento Peppers, Minced
 2 tsp Sriracha
 Salt and Cracked Black Pepper, To Taste
Sliders
 1 lb Ground Chuck, 80/20
 3 oz Packaged Dry Aged Prosciutto
 1 tsp Salt
 ½ tsp Cracked Black Pepper
 8 Hawaiian Slider Buns or Potato Slider Buns
For The Pimento Cheese
1

Combine all ingredients and mix until very smooth. It's best to make this the night before if you are able or at least let it sit for a couple of hours to meld the flavors.

For The Sliders
2

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. On a sheet tray, lay a piece of parchment paper down and then lay down individual slices of prosciutto. Bake for 9-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it as they can burn quickly and easily. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

3

In a medium bowl, mix the ground chuck, salt and pepper. Pinch a small piece off and cook it in a sauté pan to gauge flavor. Season more if necessary.

4

Sliders should be around 2 oz. each. Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal parts. Form into a burger and press down slightly in the middle to leave an indent, or dimple. This will keep the burger from puffing up during grilling.

5

Preheat grill to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil the grate to prevent burgers from sticking.

6

Cook sliders to desired temperature (Medium Rare: 130-135 degrees; Medium: 140-
145 degrees; Medium Well: 150-155 degrees)
