  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will give it the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the pimento cheese is spreadable: If it's too thick, it will be difficult to spread on the bread.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, and onion.
  • Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and gooey: This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
