3 tablespoons diced green chilies, preferably Hatch
2 tablespoons chopped pimientos (remainder from pimiento cheese)
12 slider or mini burger buns
Pimiento Cheese (recipe follows)
Butter lettuce leaves
12 slices cooked crisp bacon
Instructions
Crumble ground chuck into a bowl. Add celery salt, black pepper, chilies and pimientos. Mix well with your hands but do not mash together. Shape ground beef into 12 patties slightly larger than the buns. Indent the burgers with your thumb and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Brush and oil the grates before cooking.
Grill the burgers for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium (165ºF). Remove from grill and spread patties with pimiento cheese. Serve on hot toasted buns with butter lettuce leaves, and bacon.
