Recipe: Bacon Pimento Cheese Bites

By Stacey Little

A few months back, I had the pleasure of judging the Alabama Farmers Federation Heritage Cooking Contest. The contest featured more than 30 recipes that included pork bacon as a featured ingredient. I mean, who can resist judging a bacon cooking contest, right???

There were so many great dishes, but these Bacon Pimento Cheese Bites from Anne Lanier were the winning recipe. They’re the perfect bite of sweet and salty and are amazingly easy to prepare.

Even though her original recipe was a cinch, I’ve updated a little here to make it even simpler.Her recipe calls for cooking the bacon and crumbling it. For the 15 pieces of bacon she called for, I’ve subbed a package of chopped bacon pieces from the grocery store. They have dramatically improved the flavor and texture of the precooked stuff over the past few years and it’s a perfect substitution when you don’t want to have to cook (and clean up after) bacon.
