Bacon and Pimento Cheese Burgers – delicious (and easy!) homemade pimento cheese on top burgers with crispy bacon!

Something you may not know about me is that one of my favorite foods is pimento cheese. I don’t know how or why but I have loved it for as long as I can remember.

Almost every week when I do my big grocery shopping trip, I buy a tub of pimento cheese and a bag of those long pretzel rods and then I dip the pretzels in the cheese and that’s all I eat until it’s gone.

I mean, is that not one of the weirder things for someone to be obsessed with?

Pimento cheese on pretzels? And not just pretzels, it has to be the pretzel rods.

So when my dear friend Kita asked me to participate in Burger Month again this year, I knew Bacon and Pimento Cheese Burgers were happening.

If you’re a homemade bun kind of person, I love these burger buns for something light and fluffy. If you like a heartier, healthier bun, my Wheat Oat Flax Buns are delicious!
