I LOVE ME SOME PIMENTO CHEESE, and on every way you mentioned it! My favorite way though, is as a grilled cheese! Literally the BEST GRILLED CHEESE you'll ever have! 😋

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

How many pounds of cheddar cheese do I need for 2 cups of grated cheddar?

[@sherryarnold9742]

​@mariaconsuelothomen buy a couple of packages and measure.

[@traciehenry2056]

Gots to be Duke's mayo and love a good grilled pimento cheese with bacon. So, so good.

[@stef1lee]

All the ways you mentioned is my favorite. Today, I'm using a tomato as my vehicle for this amazing stuff. It's 8.34 in morning on a Tuesday and I'm drooling over pimento cheese stuffed tomatoes. So yum!!!

[@jessicalachermeier8307]

A grilled pimento cheese omg oh so good ! I love pimento cheese any way you eat it 😋

[@BarefootFarm]

It’s great used inside of jalapeños for jalapeño poppers!

[@RealBigBadJohn]

I've always loved homemade pimento cheese. Try pimento cheese, deli ham, and red onion on grilled sourdough.👍✔🏁😎

[@bhallmark3390]

It’s great on celery! If I make it, the jalapeño peppers will be left out-cannot tolerate the least bit of heat. But this recipe looks like something many will love….😉

[@Robin7-26]

@B Hallmark: I am the same way, I cannot tolerate any kind of heat at all. I did just make this and it is so good! I added about a tablespoon of horseradish to it and it is so delicious. I wish I had some sourdough bread to put it on toast. I have whole-grain toast so that will have to do. Great idea to put it on celery… Thanks! 😃

[@ravencole2740]

My mom used to make that as a snack for us: celery stalks, some with pimento cheese and some with peanut butter.

[@melissavermillion1101]

This pimento cheese recipe has become a staple at my house. Everyone loves it. Now you've given new ideas on how to eat it. Yum!!!!

[@junglisechef]

I was hungry watching this video. Is there anyone like me? 😝😝😝

[@maggiewickwire2936]

One of my favorites since I was a kid. Always love a pimiento cheese sandwich.😊

[@jonihughey1352]

On toasted bread. 😋

[@hannahsingleton7247]

Me to I have loved it from a child

[@hannahsingleton7247]

😊

[@Robin7-26]

My mom used to make this when I was young but she only ever just used mayonnaise. I love the addition of cream cheese! I just made this and it’s amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe😃

[@gerrywinters-kr9mi]

My favorite way to eat pimento cheese is with fried bologna and then grill it MMMMMMMMM!!

[@carlosharris2308]

This is what I came for I wanted to know if someone put meat on their pimento cheese sandwich.

[@gac5664]

Pimento cheese and pork rinds! I love it.

[@maryguy721]

My grandmother always took grated sharp cheddar cheese , chopped jalapeños, red pepper to taste and mayo. Mix together. Be careful not to put to much red pepper. If to dry add some jalapeños juice. Let sit in fridge then taste to make sure not to hot. Makes great roll ups, sandwiches or dip

[@hw260]

I like to serve Pimento Cheese on my boat: Floating Red Neck Charcuterie Board.

[@chaasadnapash802]

I love pimento cheese 😋

[@sandramacarthur590]

So glad to see you make this. It's exactly like what I make. We put it on crackers. I think it's perfect. Someone I know says it shouldn't have cream cheese in it! I'm not sure how they make it. Their loss. 😁

[@mamason123]

I had been looking to make this for awhile. I decided to make your recipe and it is wonderful. I forgot to buy a jalapeño so I had it without and it is awesome. Will be making for Christmas. For my hubby to like it, it has to be good!

[@kenhill3230]

That looks really good. I love it as sandwiches.

[@shirleyrose3279]

I guess I’ve made it every way possible. Chopped pickles, bacon bits, onion, jalapeños. I like a little cream cheese. I also like a spoonful of Worcestershire. Crackers, carrot slices, celery, and a big sandwich with a tomato and maybe a slice of ham. Mmm

[@brianazmy3156]

So I'm not the only one who experiments with the recipe...I recently tried sour cream with ranch seasonings instead of mayo. I do like your idea of the relish and celery and will give it a try. Olives are good too.

[@denisec425]

Love your recipes and your style

[@rhondae8222]

Thanks for sharing.

[@bethdavis6863]

I use this recipe, but I add a grated garlic clove and 1 T grated, well dried onion.

[@pattianndt8086]

I was raised on pimento cheese sandwiches. 😋

[@jonihughey1352]

I like to make a cheese ball with it (& a few other cheeses) by putting it in a mold for the holidays. My mom had one shaped like a bell.

[@brianazmy3156]

I grew up on these in South Carolina. I didn't realize how popular they really were until I watched my first MASTERS tournament. Our family recipe varies depending on how far into the sticks you go. I sometimes mix sour cream and ranch dressing as a substitute for the mayo. I now live in NYC and nobody knows of this holy sandwich up here. Most of my friends here have become huge fans of it and they also like the chow-chow that I make. Thanks for sharing your videos

[@matiasmartinezmelero6925]

My grandpa always brought a pimento cheese sandwich when he was back from work

[@melissadiskin]

If you can find one of the newer lower-heat jalapeño peppers, you can get more flavor and some heat (but not too much, even if you add a lot). I found them this summer from Will’s Eden Farm and kept bags of them ready for dicing - they’re amazing.

[@wandasoler1573]

Love pimiento and cheese for a good sandwich.❤️

[@beanie7547]

My favorite way is with a straw

[@paulcarlachapman628]

Every time we make it I can't rest until it's gone. Crackers, sandwiches, dip, or just lick it off a spoon --- it's all good!!!

[@debbienorton1054]

i WAS INTRODUCED ABOUT 10 -15 YRS AGO TO GRILLED PIMENTO & CHEESE TALK ABOUT WOW!

[@shawnlewis389]

I love topping my burger with it. We also put it on those little hard toasted bread round. I don't know what you call them, but that is guuuud! Extra sharp cheddar is a must. And Duke's mayo is a must!

[@blakeneyadams4839]

I add a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce and Frank's hot sauce. But your recipe is how I have made it for decades. Delish!!

[@jf5336]

Hail ya! Love me some pimento cheese! Thanks for your recipe.

[@Besyl]

Duke's. She's alluding to Duke's mayo.

[@sdb454]

On toast but looking forward to making homemade.. thank you

[@susanlee8826]

My favorite way to use pimento cheese is grilling it like a grilled cheese and adding bacon.

[@sharonbowers9929]

Love just a simple pimiento cheese sandwich. The perfect lunch.

[@johneric3294]

AWWW its a beautiful viewb

[@yechezkelbinstok9281]

Waltuh

[@mariebarker4499]

Looks delicious!

[@mhariclare1]

Fav way…… on a spoon 🥰

[@diane8885]

I believe that God created the food processor to grate cheese.

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

I don't know if she wanted to say that you don't need a food processor to make pimento cheese.

[@robertdelaria3512]

She said "Don't buy ALREADY shredded cheese you buy in grocery store." NEVER said anything about no food processor .

[@laurengibson7941]

So much easier than a box grater!

[@ray7419]

Great recipe!!! I always add a bit of either jalapeños or Serrano peppers in mine. 🌶️👍

[@akankshapatwari4167]

I add both in huge quantities. I want pimiento to burn my tongue and my eyes to water

[@irenemeno3585]

Heard of it, never had it, you make me know I'd love it ❤️🥰🌺🌴🇬🇺🇺🇸

[@yechezkelbinstok9281]

[@RealBigBadJohn]

The background music is distracting. Your beautiful voice is the only music we need, Nicole.✔👍♥

[@BlackJesus8463]

Yup!

[@Mrrossj01]

Buy a Mouli Grater. 🥰. All real Southern cooks have one.

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Can you mix the pimentos in by hand?

[@georgianelson5038]

Do you have a recipe for caccatore chicken?

[@janetlavoie2441]

Grilled pimento cheese sandwich!!!

[@sherryarnold9742]

A cool little addition...if you like green olives, finely chop a handful and add to your pimento cheese spread. 🧀 A lady i worked with told me this and my family won't eat it without the olives.

[@tammybergeron6896]

How about a video on how to make the Rotel cheese dip at a baby shower. I love that dip. Yummmm

[@Top_Cop]

Awesome recipe! But, black tape over the mixer name and can't say Duke's Mayo?

[@JuanBrolo]

My brother uses miracle whip in everything that should have mayo instead. Thank you for knowing to not use that garbage lol. It's only good on a cold cut sandwich that's it.

[@MalayasiaKreations]

Ritz crackers and pimento cheese is the best. I'm going to make this.

[@awayforthewin1325]

Kid named pimento cheese

[@karencroft1322]

What can you if you can't get sharp cheddar cheese they don't sell here just old cheddar

[@JaniceStPeter]

I put pimento cheese on a Hawaiian roll with a piece of smallish fried chicken and then bake briefly. Southern, right?! Maybe Hawaiian with Spam?

[@karenughoc2849]

I was raised eating it on celery.

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

If you want two cups of grated cheddar, how much (by weight? cheese should you buy?

[@kimhelms3669]

8 ounces

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

@@kimhelms3669 Thanks

[@aprilw7561]

Deep fried pimento sandwich

[@kwk111]

Never had it, and we don't have pimento peppers in Finland, but google says any sweet pepper will do. Can't wait to try this out, looks delicious

[@johnabbott257]

I make it with jalapeño cream cheese-

[@billmatwij539]

Waltuh.

[@anneclark1330]

Looks yummy! And you're washing it down with a Co' Cola!!!

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Is that another way to make friends?

[@kathyrama4570]

I love a big dollop in a hamburger.

[@alenemarie]

…& you used the PROPER Coke in a glass bottle. I KNEW I liked you. 😊

[@dirtycommtroop]

As a northerner I've only heard about pimento cheese from the Masters tournaments. I've had 3 different store bought brands and they were absolutely disgusting. I did not believe this is what ya'll were eating so i decided to press on and order the overpriced Pimento cheese from the Masters. It was delicious and completely different. I found a copycat recipe that i can now confirm is near identical to the real deal. I cant stop making it!

[@LehtusBphree2flyFPV]

Slap your mama is classic😂😂

[@Janetsfaithtable]

Grilled cheese

[@judithcalderwood1573]

Love watching but your background music is distracting and really not necessary. Just saying….

[@oldosamahadabombe-i-e-i-o2775]

waltuh

[@oldschool1189]

The cream cheese and jalapeño are a nice touch. Duke’s is a must. My favorite way to eat it is on hot garlic toast. With pickles!!! Make it and tell me I’m wrong.

[@sheilamassey3]

Do you mean DUKES?😁

[@clairressagoad2789]

…on and sandwich and on a cracker…

[@normanewton2779]

Can you preserve for long time storage, if so how ?

[@joedonlewis9820]

I like a grilled pimento cheese and bologna sandwich.

[@Shuggies]

You def. Absolutely can NOT tasr the cream cheese when using any kind of sharp cheddar cheese. At all.. but it is a great texture. 👍and i LOVE puckled Jalapenos NOT RAW.. ITS KILLER

[@alenemarie]

So sad I thought for sure your recipe is the one thought that seemed the most authentic. 😢

[@nadeemjanjua8323]

Could you please teach us your version of Pakistani Karahie Chicken. I learm A TONS of Cooking Techniques from your cooking Videos. Would really very much appreciate it you can cook your version of Pakistani Karahie Chicken. I bet you can cook it better than anyone else on KZbin.

[@JaniceStPeter]

Plus, I love Nicole's voice!

[@salamanderT.]

Bozo first

[@cynthiahill4875]

I need a foolproof way to peel hard boiled eggs

[@SharryStarbuck]

Yuck....hate pimento anything!

[@sharonjones5173]

No to cream cheese. Not an authentic southern pimento cheese.
