Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 bacon slices
1 tablespoon blended olive oil
2 small red bell peppers, stems removed, finely diced (about 1¼ cups)
2 teaspoons adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
1⁄2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1⁄4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 ounces white cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons thinly sliced chives

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet and drain on paper towels; chop. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.
  • Return the skillet to medium. Add the blended oil and the red bell peppers. Cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the bacon drippings. Add the adobo sauce, and cook 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the bacon, mayonnaise, vinegar, hot sauce, dry mustard, granulated garlic, and black pepper.
  • Combine the cheddar cheeses, cream cheese, and bell pepper mixture in a large bowl. Stir in the chives, and serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality, sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. You can use mild cheddar if you prefer a less sharp flavor.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to create a smooth and creamy spread.
  • If you don't have pimentos, you can substitute diced red bell pepper or roasted red peppers.
  • Add a dash of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little extra spice.
  • Serve pimento cheese with crackers, celery sticks, or bread.

Conclusion:

Pimento cheese is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for parties, picnics, or everyday snacks. With its creamy texture and tangy flavor, pimento cheese is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
