Bacon Pimento Cheese Cups

These little cheesy cups are such a great appetizer. Be sure to make at least twice as much as you think you'll need, because people don't stop at just one or two of these little guys! And if you have left over pimento cheese, just spread it on crackers for an easy snack or use it as the filling for the best grilled cheese sandwich you'll ever eat.
