Time 5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 drops hot sauce

Steps:

  • Place pimentos with juice into a bowl.
  • Mash with a fork to break up pimentos a little.
  • Stir in cheese, mayo, hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix until well combined.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your pimento cheese.
  • Shred the cheese yourself. This will give you a creamier texture than if you use pre-shredded cheese.
  • Use mayonnaise, not Miracle Whip. Miracle Whip contains high-fructose corn syrup, which can make your pimento cheese too sweet.
  • Add some heat. If you like spicy food, add a few dashes of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to your pimento cheese.
  • Don't overmix. Overmixing will make your pimento cheese tough.

Conclusion:

Pimento cheese is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you spread it on crackers, use it as a dip for vegetables, or melt it on a sandwich, pimento cheese is sure to please everyone at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give pimento cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
