INGREDIENTS :

FOR THE SANDWICH:

• 4 slìces bread
• 4-6 slìces bacon
• 4-6 leaves romaìne lettuce or leaf lettuce
• 4-6 slìces rìpe tomato 
• 1/4-1/2 cup pìmento cheese (see recìpe below)
• 2 TBSP qualìty mayo

JALAPEÑO PIMENTO CHEESE:

• 8 oz coarsely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/3-1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, pimento peppers, or mini peppers
• 1-2 jalapeño peppers (1/3-1/2 cup minced)
• 3 tsp diced pickled jalapeño peppers
• 1 tsp vinegar from the pickled jalapeño jar
• 1/4 cup quality mayo (extra if desired)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
• 1/8 tsp salt

INSTRUCTIONS :

FOR THE PIMENTO CHEESE:

1. In a medium-large bowl, combine cheddar cheese, diced peppers, pickled peppers, vinegar, mayo, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Control the heat by adding as much or as little jalapeño as you'd like. As written the spread is medium with a kiss of heat.
2. Pimento cheese mixture can be prepped in advance and refrigerated for 2-4 days. The flavors amplify the next day - YUM! If serving right away, allow mixture to chill in the fridge while you cook your bacon.

FOR THE SANDWICH:

1. First cook your bacon until golden and crispy. This can be done in the oven or in a skillet on the stove.
