PIMENTO MAC AND CHEESE
This recipe combines two classic Southern dishes to create something special: Pimento cheese, a spread for sandwiches, crackers and vegetables, meets mac and cheese for a peppery and spicier version of the traditional baked casserole. The core ingredients of pimento cheese - sharp yellow Cheddar, pimento peppers and cream cheese - cook into a sauce that's creamier and tangier than the usual purely cheese base.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring often, until golden and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Melt remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add flour and paprika, stir well, and cook until vegetables are coated, about 1 minute.
- While whisking, carefully stream in the milk until smooth and incorporated. Bring to a simmer while continuing to whisk. Simmer, whisking often, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and pimentos, and stir until the cheese is completely melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cooked pasta and stir to coat. Transfer to the baking dish and spread evenly. Evenly sprinkle the toasted panko on top. Bake until golden and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then serve.

PIMIENTO CHEESE
This is the ultimate pimiento cheese recipe. What makes this pimiento cheese better than average? Besides not using cream cheese, which is something the southern-raised experts in our test kitchens felt strongly about, this recipe calls for beating the cheese mixture to make it smoother and more spreadable. According to them, it's hard to beat too long. Combine that technique with a little extra prep-grating your own cheese makes all the difference here-and a few non-traditional ingredients-soy sauce, pickled jalapeño peppers and Dijon really amp up the flavor. This pimiento cheese isn't just cheesy and creamy, it's also slightly spicy, deeply savory and a tiny bit tangy. With so much going on, this totally nontraditional, but absolutely irresistible take on pimiento cheese is a must try!

Steps:
- Process cream cheese, cheddar, pimentos, and Tabasco in a food processor until coarsely pureed. Transfer to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with crackers.
Tips:
- Use a food processor. A food processor will make quick work of chopping the pimiento peppers and cream cheese. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the peppers and cream cheese by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the crackers. This will help to prevent the crackers from crumbling.
- Serve the crackers immediately. Pimiento cheese crackers are best when served fresh.
- Garnish the crackers with fresh parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Pimiento cheese crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of pimiento cheese crackers that everyone will love. Give these recipes a try today!
