Pimento Cheese Burgers

I am normally not a fun of either Pimento Cheese or Thousand Island Dressing, but we ran across these burgers being made at Publix for a demonstration and they were so yummy I just had to try them. I used a homemade Thousand Island Dressing which you can find the recipe for here that was very good. Enjoy!
