The Southern Burger

Ingredients:

For the burgers
4 burger buns
4 ground beef patties (~1/3 lb each)
Worcestershire
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup Pimento cheese
Lettuce

For the fried green tomatoes:
2-3 green tomatoes, sliced ~1/3-inch thick
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp cornmeal
Salt
Pepper
Olive or vegetable oil, for frying

Directions:

Heat your grill to high.

To make the tomatoes, heat a non stick pan sprayed with oil over medium high heat.

Add flour, cornmeal, a pinch of salt and pepper to a ziptop bag and shake to mix well.  Add tomato slices and shake to coat.

Fry tomato slices in batches until golden brown on each side. (Add additional oil between batches.)  Remove to a paper towel-lined plate until ready to assemble burgers.

Each side of the hamburger patties should get a dash of Worcestershire and a pinch of salt and pepper.  Cook the patties to desired doneness.

Before removing them from the grill, top each with ~2 Tbsp of pimento cheese and let cook 1 minute more to melt the cheese.

To assemble the burger, top the bottom bun with the cooked burger, fried green tomato slices, lettuce, and any condiments of choice.
