Why I haven’t thought of making these earlier in life I will never know. Besides, pimento cheese and deviled eggs are two of my favorite comfort foods, so why not combine the two?
I came across the idea while browsing through different deviled egg recipes. So I threw together what I thought would taste good, and added BACON. Because when you’re taking chances, everything’s better with bacon, right?
It was love at first bite. Then several more bites. 🙂
Of course I couldn’t give Chance anything with pimentos in it, but I made a few extra boiled eggs to add into his food as a special treat… like the sirloin I made him tonight wasn’t a treat enough! 🙂 It has been frigid cold here in NC and he’s sporting his neck warmer and sweater like a champ.
