Grilled Ham and Pimento Cheese Burgers

Do you remember when I posted a recipe for Bobby Deen's Lighter and Leaner Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwiches?  Well, I LOVE that sandwich and I eat it often.  Last time I made them, I had some pimento cheese leftover and there was NO WAY I was going to throw that goodness away.

Fast forward to the next night when we were making hamburgers for dinner.  I had this idea of topping my burger with the leftover pimento cheese instead of regular cheese.  Then, I thought about how good ham and cheese are together, so I threw some of that on there too.  That is how this Grilled Ham and Pimento Cheese Burger was created.

I have eaten it a few times and you can never have too much of that pimento cheese.  I know it sounds strange, but don't be afraid of it.

This, my friends, is a GOOD burger.
