1 1/2 tsp salt, divided use
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Pinch of black pepper
2 T mayonnaise
1 1/4 lbs ground beef
12 Parker House rolls, each 2 inches wide, warmed

In a bowl, combine cheese, pimento, green onions, 1/2 tsp salt, cayenne and black pepper.
Stir in mayonnaise until incorporated.
Refrigerate pimento cheese until ready to use.
In a bowl, combine ground beef and 1 tsp salt.
Divide into 12 equal portions.
Gently form into balls and shape into small patties.
Heat a nonstick grill pan or barbeque.
Cook burgers over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Then flip them and spoon pimento cheese onto burgers.
