Instructions
 

Prepare the Pimento Cheese Filling:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, chopped pimentos, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

      Prepare the Burger Patties:

        - In a separate bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into 8 equal patties (about 4 ounces each).

          Stuff the Burgers:

            - Take 4 of the beef patties and place about 2 tablespoons of the pimento cheese filling in the center of each patty. Carefully place the remaining patties on top and seal the edges tightly to ensure the cheese stays inside during cooking.

              Cook the Burgers:

                - Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the stuffed burgers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Note that cooking time may vary based on thickness; use a meat thermometer for best results (160°F for medium).

                  Toast the Buns:

                    - If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

                      Assemble the Burgers:

                        - Once cooked, remove the burgers from heat. Assemble by placing each burger on a toasted bun, then topping with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and pickles.

                          Serve:

                            - Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, potato salad, or chips. Enjoy your delicious pimento cheese stuffed burgers!
