Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese is one of the easiest and most delicious recipes you will ever make. All you need is a food processor, or in a pinch, a mixer will work too! This Southern spread has many uses, and is a cinch to pull together.
Ingredients:
8 oz sharp cheddar
1/2 block of cream cheese
1/3 c. mayo
1/2 jar diced pimentos
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 dashes hot sauce
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Start with 8 oz of sharp cheddar cheese. Shred the cheese in the food processor. Once shredded, place the cheese in a medium-sized bowl. In the now empty food processor, place all the remaining ingredients. Turn on the food processor to combine, making sure that the cream cheese is well-incorporated. Add the shredded cheese back into the food processor with cream cheese mixture. Pulse a few times to combine so that it is well-distributed. Start pretending you are in a warmer climate than Ohio. That’s it!
My mom likes to serve the pimento cheese as a sandwich on some delicious crusty bread, or pair it with some celery, carrots, and pretzels as a dip. If I had thought about it sooner, I would have spread this batch on bread and made it into a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato. Hope you enjoy!
