Hot Mess Cheeseburger

We used a mix of whatever cheeses we had on hand. You don’t have to get picky. No matter what you use these burgers will turn out fantastic. Lots of cheese, and a little heat.

Ingredients

For the burgers

1 pound ground beef shaped into 4 patties
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns
8 slices tomato
1 cup iceberg lettuce shredded
8 slices red onion
ketchup to taste
mayonnaise to taste
prepared mustard to taste
Dill pickles spears, for serving

For the cheese topping

1 cup cheeses shredded. We used sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, and Mozzarella
1 tablespoon chives chopped
1 tablespoon garlic minced
2 tablespoons red onion minced
2 tablespoons pimentos drained, chopped
hot sauce to taste

Instructions

Fire up your grill for direct cooking.
Salt and pepper the beef and place the patties onto the grill.
Meanwhile, stir together all of the cheese mix ingredients.
Flip burgers once the first side has pretty grill marks.
When the patties are just about done (about 15 degrees below where you want them), top with the cheese mix.
Remove patties once the meat is done and the cheese is all ooey gooey.
Toast buns as desired.
Serve burgers topped with tomato, lettuce, onion, ketchup, mayo and mustard with a cold pickle spear on the side.

Notes

Add a little minced jalapeno to the cheese mixture for a nice kick!
