Southern Pimiento Cheese Burger

I'd never heard of this until recently on the NPR program "The Splendid Table".  The host, Lynn Rosetta Casper has a pair of regular guests who send in reports from the "road" as they criss cross America in search of authentic regional cuisine (who wouldn't love that job!?)

I dressed it with lettuce, pickle relish and the pimiento cheese.  It was not unlike a Big Mac, but better!

Pimiento Cheese:  In a food processor mix the following

6 OZ grated cheddar cheese

6 OZ Philadelphia Cream Cheese

half a cup of mayonnaise

1 small jar of pimientos (drained)

Whiz it up until it's well mixed and fairly smooth.  I'll never miss the little glass jar of Kraft Pimiento again!
