1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
2
Prepare the Burger Patties
In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the beef into two equal-sized patties.
3
Cook the Burger Patties
In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
4
Add Pimento Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a generous scoop of pimento cheese on each burger patty and cover the skillet so that the cheese melts.
5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a cooked burger patty with melted pimento cheese. Top with crispy bacon, a handful of arugula, and slices of red onion. Cap with the top half of the bun.
