Ingredients

• 3 pounds ground chuck
• 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1⁄2 cup barbecue sauce

• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup prepared pimiento cheese

Directions

• In a large bowl, gently combine beef, crumbled bacon, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Shape mixture into 8 (1-inch-thick) patties. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Spray grill rack with nonstick nonflammable grill spray. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350° to 400°). Grill patties, uncovered, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip patties; cook 2 minutes more. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons pimiento cheese. Cover, and cook until cheese has melted and burgers reach desired degree of doneness, approximately 2 minutes more. Transfer burgers to a warm platter. Serve burgers on Homemade Hamburger Buns with bacon, tomato, barbecue sauce, and grilled onion, if desired.
