Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hickory smoked bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Grill the Jalapeños

    Slice the jalapeños in half and remove the seeds (if desired for less heat). Brush with olive oil and grill them until charred and softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into burger patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burgers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a patty, followed by the grilled jalapeños, crispy bacon, and a generous scoop of pimento cheese. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pimento cheese burgers hot with your choice of sides.
