Southern Burger with Fried Green Tomatoes and Pimento Cheese

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup Remoulade Sauce
  • 1 cup Pimento Cheese

Marinade

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Fried Green Tomatoes

  • 4 slices of a green tomato
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Mix all of the marinade ingredients together with the ground beef and let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients.

To make Fried Green Tomatoes:

  • Heat oil in frying pan.
  • Combine cornmeal and paprika into one bowl, buttermilk and egg into another, and flour into another.
  • Dredge tomatoes in flour, dust off. Then put in buttermilk mixture, let soak for a minute. Then coat tomatoes in cornmeal mixture.
  • When oil is hot, carefully place the slices into the pan. After you get a golden crust, about 3-4 minutes flip for an additional 2-3 minutes (not browning them too much).

Burger

  • Divide the meat into 4 patties.
  • Heat grill pan/grill to medium high heat. Cook each burger until your desired doneness is reached (I like mine about medium 3-4 minutes per side).
  • To assemble the burgers, spread 2 tablespoons of remoulade on the bottom bun and place the burger on top. Add one fried green tomato on top of the patty, followed by 1/4 cup of pimento cheese and a slice of bacon. Top with other bun and serve immediately.
