- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove pits from the dates (You can do this by slightly cutting a slit into one side of the dates and carefully removing the pit. You don't really want to cut your date into two halves).
- Stuff each date with a heaping spoonful of pimento cheese.
- Wrap each date with a 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

- Be sure to spray the aluminum foil with cooking spray, so they don't stick.
- Drizzle lightly with sorghum.

Pimento Cheese and Candied Bacon Burgers
Servings 4
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Aluminum foil
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mousetrap pimento cheese
- 1 lb ground beef chuck, shaped into 1/4" patties
- 4 buns
- 2 tbsp cracked pepper
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 8 pieces bacon
Instructions
How to make candied bacon:
- Preheat the oven to about 330 degrees.
- Put the bacon in a bowl and season them with pepper. Toss the bacon and pepper with about 1/3 cup of light brown sugar.
- Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Make sure there is a single layer. If there is any sugar left over, sprinkle it over the bacon.
- Place another layer of foil or parchment paper on top, and then place another baking sheet on top to flatten the bacon.
- Bake for 20 minutes and then check on it. If it isn't golden brown or a little crispy, cook again for another 10 minutes. Check it again. Repeat if necessary. I ended up cooking the bacon for about 40 minutes. Just something to remember: the bacon will still cook a little even after it has been removed from the oven.
How to make the burgers:
- Grill burgers to desired temperature, adding a generous layer of pimento cheese to the top after they are done.
- Add finished candied bacon and serve immediately. Recipe by @fabulousinfayette
