Pimento Cheeseburgers with Roasted Potatoes

• servings: 2 servings
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

10 oz Ground Beef

2 Burger Buns

¾ lb Potatoes

2 oz White Cheddar Cheese

2 Tbsps Mayonnaise

½ oz Pickled Peppadew Peppers

1 Tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika & Whole Dried Parsley)

Directions

1 Prepare & roast the potatoes Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Wash and dry the potatoes; halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 17 to 19 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Form & cook the patties Meanwhile, place the beef in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gently mix to incorporate. Form the mixture into two 1/2-inch-thick patties. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side (flipping carefully, as the oil may splatter), or until browned and cooked through.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for beef.

3 Prepare the remaining ingredients Meanwhile, grate the cheddar on the large side of a box grater. Finely chop the peppers. If necessary, halve the buns.

4 Make the pimento cheese In a bowl, combine the grated cheddar, chopped peppers, mayonnaise, and remaining spice blend; season with salt and pepper. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

5 Toast the buns & serve your dish Add the halved buns, cut side down, to the pan of reserved fond. Toast on medium-high 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a work surface. Assemble the burgers using the toasted buns, cooked patties, and pimento cheese. Serve the burgers with the roasted potatoes. Enjoy!
