           Bibb lettuce leaves
           Tomato slices
           Red onion; sliced thin
           Dill pickle sandwich slims

  BACON WEAVE: Set oven @ 425°F/218°C.

  Foil line 2 large cookie sheets and add 2 metal cooling
  racks to the cookie sheets. Use zip lock bag and add box
  of dark brown sugar, set aside.

  Take 3 slices of bacon and cut in half, you now have 6
  small sections of bacon to work with. Put the small
  bacon sections in the brown sugar bag and coat bacon
  very well.

  Take the 3 slices of bacon and run them horizontal on
  the metal cooling racks, then take 3 more slices of
  sugar coated bacon and weave vertically with the
  horizontal strips. You are basically building a woven
  bacon blanket. This may sound complicated but after you
  complete the first the rest are a breeze.

  Continue with bacon repeating the same steps until you
  have 6 bacon weaves. Sprinkle each bacon weave with red
  pepper flakes before baking.

  Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until bacon is done.
  While bacon is baking move on to pimento cheese recipe.

  NOTE FOR TIME SAVING: Make bacon weave and pimento
  cheese the day before and store in refrigerator. Warm
  bacon in microwave before serving on burgers.

  PIMENTO CHEESE: Using food processor shredded the three
  packages of block cheeses. Set aside.

  In large mixing bowl add mayo, cream cheese, pimentos
  and spices. With electric hand mixer blend together
  until smooth. Add the shredded cheeses to the mayo
  mixture and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to put
  on burgers.

  BURGERS: Fire up grill to at least 325°F/165°C.

  In large mixing bowl combine the 3 pounds of ground
  beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Form 6
  burgers into large 7 oz burger patties.

  Place burgers on grill. Cook on one side 10 to 12
  minutes, before turning baste with melted butter. Turn
  burgers and cook until medium to medium well or at least
  160F internal temperature.

  Just before taking burgers off grill add large dollop of
  pimento cheese mixture and let melt. Remove burgers and
  serve on buttered toasted buns.

  Assemble burger as bottom bun, lettuce, onion, burger,
  bacon weave, steak sauce, tomato, and sliced dill
  pickles. Add mayo or steak sauce to bun top.
