Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Using a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and cayenne; mix until well combined.
Shape mixture into 4 patties. (Tip: Make an indention in the center of each patty with your thumb. This will keep the burgers flat once cooked.)
Grill burgers on medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping once, or until fully cooked.
Remove burgers from grill and set aside. Place buns on grill; cook for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Assemble the burgers with cooked Crispy Dill Pickles, onions, bacon, lettuce, and Pimento Cheese Spread.
