Great pimiento cheese is all about spice. Red peppers and hot sauce are essential to cutting through the richness of the cream cheese and cheddar.

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

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.

I'm sorry, but this recipe was just not good. The cheese was too greasy and the flavor was off.

This recipe was a waste of time. The cheese was grainy and flavorless.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheese didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for me. I think I'll try adding some extra spices next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less paprika next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pimiento cheese, but this recipe is pretty good. The smokiness from the bacon and paprika really adds to the flavor.
