This Pimento Cheese Recipe is amazing! Traditionally, it is served cold, but it is also unbelievably delicious when heated up and melty. You will love this Pimento Cheese Recipe!
Shred your cheese in a medium size bowl.
Open your jar of pimentos and get a tablespoon of the liquid from it and put it into the bowl.
Drain / discard the rest of the liquid, and then chop your pimento peppers.
Add the chopped pimento peppers to your bowl.
Add the mayo, and spices to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients well together.
You can serve it now or place in a storage container (refrigerate until you are ready to serve).
*Make sure you get the blocks of cheese and shred them yourself. It will not be as delicious if you get the pre-shredded kind from the bag.
**Pimento peppers usually will already be chopped, but make sure to chop them some more so that the pieces are smaller.
***I always used Hellman’s mayo – it is the best!
****I think that ½ teas of cayenne pepper is perfect – just gives a kick of heat, but you can reduce if you are sensitive to spice or increase it if you like it spicier.
