Step 1
Stir cheddar, pimentos, and mayo together in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Divide ground beef in half and form two loose patties about 0.75-inch thick. Make a small dimple in the center of each with your thumb.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Place patties in the skillet and let them sit undisturbed for 3 minutes until the bottom browns, then flip and cook 2 minutes more.
Step 5
Spoon pimento cheese onto each patty while still in the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook 1 minute until cheese melts.
Step 6
Butter the burger buns and toast them in the skillet 30 seconds per side until golden. Top each bun with a cheese-loaded patty and serve hot.
