Homemade Pimento Cheese Sandwiches with bacon and tomato

You can enjoy this sandwich on any kind of bread.  It is also delicious grilled so the pimento cheese melts a little.  Also, if you enjoy your pimento cheese creamier, just add more mayonnaise.  This is a great recipe to play with and get it to your own personal taste.
