Never ate pimiento cheese before today. Tried your recipe it's delicious... Homemade is way better.😊

[@Handsthatcook]

I'm so glad you like it Denise. Pimento cheese is a staple in the South. It's a favorite among Southerners and has been around for many, many years. TFW God Bless, Linda

[@Denise-cq6lk]

Being born and raised in the south my family tried for years to get me to eat it... just didn't care for it... Lol so today I've made my family proud...😅 They were thinking something was wrong with me.... Chicken salad was my preferred choice that or PBJ.. But this is really good.... Had to subscribe to your channel too, gotta see your other goodies... Thanks a bunch an have a truly Blessed day.😊

I fell in love with this stuff while visiting South Carolina. I will definitely be making this at home 😉

[@brianazmy3156]

That's where I first had them. Charleston to be exact. I'm in NYC and nobody knows of this delicious treat. I use SOPHIA brand roasted red peppers and shred the cheese myself. Sour cream instead of mayo or 50/50 on potato bread and it's a wrap.

[@crystinamarie1]

@@brianazmy3156 oh snap! That sounds bomb! I'll have to try that 😆

[@johnecriteser7813]

I used to get a pimento cheese on white at Sander's in Downtown Detroit along with a hot fudge cream puff for dessert all the time in the early 80s with my grandma or great aunt. Today I had a hankerin' and lo and behold! I'mna make this! Thanks for the simple recipe!

Did you know sawdust is contained in all pre-grated cheese...!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi William, It isn't sawdust, it's a type of flour but thanks...I'll still buy already grated cheese. TFW God bless!

[@61bretay]

hi i just made some pimento cheese a couple of days ago from another recipe that had cream cheese in it..it was pretty good..but i am so gonna make this one...looks so much better...i grew up on ruth's pimento cheese and duke's mayonnaise..i love mine toasted..oh so good..i could live off of pimento cheese sandwiches..my husband thought the other one tasted better than the store bought..can't wait to see is his reaction on this one..thank you for this recipe...going in my recipe book under favorites....

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Karen, This recipe won't disappoint you. Be sure to use the combination of cheeses and a good mayo (like Dukes or Hellman's), rinse the pimentos, add your mayo and refrigerate. If it's hard after it has chilled THEN add more mayo. Old fashioned pimento cheese did not have cream cheese in it, just mayo, cheese and pimento. Let me know how you like it and thanks for watching and commenting!

[@61bretay]

***** will definitely let you know..cream cheese was ok,but....lol..and i always added more mayo to my store bought pimento cheese...will let you know after i make this....

[@61bretay]

we loved this recipe...i used dukes as thats what we grew up on here...i love toasted pimento cheese sandwiches...thank you again for the recipe..i have it copied in my book for future use..

[@Handsthatcook]

Karen Wicker Hi Karen, So glad this old, old recipe was what you were looking for. This is the only way I make it!

[@jessa_joy]

Hi! I am so glad I found this video. My pastor asked if I would make some peanut butter or pimento cheese sandwiches for our church's New Years Eve service, until now I realized it's something I can actually do. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hello Jessa, This will make some great pimento cheese sandwiches for you! Thank you for watching and subscribing! Let me know how this turns out for you!

[@jessa_joy]

***** Hello, I did make the sandwiches. I think I added too much mayo (or it could have been the brand I used), but other than that the recipe is really delicious :). Is there any mayo substitutions I could try next time?

[@Handsthatcook]

Jessa Hughes Hi Jessa, Pimento Cheese isn't pimento cheese without mayonnaise. Don't use a "sweet" mayo like Miracle Whip. The best mayo is hellmans, Dukes or Sauers. I wouldn't use any other brand and good cheese. To keep from using too much, add what you think is a sufficient amount (of mayo) put it in the fridge till it's cold and when you take it out, if it's hard to stir or spread, you need more mayonnaise. I hope this helps you. Good luck and thanks for getting back to me with your question. Sorry, you must use mayonnaise. Try again making a smaller batch. Remember, practice makes perfect!

[@dominickbundy6429]

That’s similar to the way I make it only I add ago healthy portion of horseradish about a heaping tablespoon or adjust to taste. Which gives it a little kick.

[@Handsthatcook]

I'll bet that does give it a good kick! TFW God bless

[@nonitheitaliancook4116]

Thanx for your video!

[@cjanvier1536]

Ok, I just figured it out today that American soldiers from the South must have brought this recipe to the Philippines pre-WW2 because it is such a popular sandwich filling throughout the whole entire country. They melt the cheese, add sugar or condensed milk just for a little sweetness, mayonnaise and/or butter. I am so going to make this. Thank you!

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Hi Linda! I've made this before a couple of times as a sandwich spread, but not in several years. I guess it's back down to the Supermarket lol!

My late father used to make pimento cheese like your pimento cheese - Except Dad used Kraft Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. Also Dad used to "Obtain" the Commodity Cheese from his various sources which also made some very good pimento cheese with the pimentos and Kraft Miracle Whip. Thanks for taking me back several years and for making me very hungry.

I am like you. I eat it year round. The only store brand I like and believe me I have tried a lot of different brands is Prices because I love really chunky pimento cheese spread. But it is so expensive. An 8 ounce bowl at the store is almost $3.00 and the big bowl is almost $5.00. Going to start making my own.

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Sonia, I think you'll enjoy this recipe. Just use a good mayonnaise and never use miracle whip. Let me know how you like it. Thanks for commenting!!

[@chuck1prillaman]

I add minced garlic, cayenne, chives and sometimes substitute blue cheese dressing for the mayo. (Extra sharp cheddar)

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Chuck, your version sounds really good but this is the old time recipe back in the day when none of those things were added. Plain and simple is delicious as well. TFW God bless

[@Handsthatcook]

Tommy R. Hi Tommy, use your favorite cheddar, grate it yourself (for the absolute best tasting) or do as I did and use a pre-grated GOOD cheese and a GOOD mayo. Close your eyes and you're back in the South. Back in the day, this was all that was in pimento cheese, no onions, cream cheese, jalapenos, or grain bread. Just pimentos, cheese, good mayo and served on white bread only. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this brings you back to your youth! Enjoy!!

[@Handsthatcook]

kingtut777 Hi kingtut777, yes you can but you'd have to use less pimento cheese or it will end up on the inside of the appliance (what a mess!) OR you can toast in a frying pan with a little butter and use more cheese. Hope this helps!! Thanks for watching

***** Thank you!! i suscribed because i think I can learn so much from you, to make my life more deliciouse!!

[@Handsthatcook]

Thank you King! I appreciate it. If you use a Panini, put the pimento cheese in the middle of the bread and let it spread out itself as it heats up and flattens.

[@sherryvoorhees3416]

I add sugar to mine. Yum!

[@Handsthatcook]

If you add sugar to pimento cheese I KNOW you aren't from the south. I must admit this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone adding sugar to pimento cheese.....good for you, if you like it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else though. TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda

I love mayonnaise so making this is going to be easy. This weekend I'm buying everything and I'll take your advise after it's in the fridge I'll add more mayo if it's too hard. OMG you started something I'll be the #1 fan of pimento cheese that's for sure. Thank you!

Hi Linda. I've been watching your channel for sometime now. When I switched to this recipe, I was in the process of making some. I'm from Texas and you are right, this is just a standard thing we eat during the summertime of if I get a "hankering" for it in the winter. I live alone also, but my son and his family live right across from me so I furnish them with it when I make it. He loves mexican food, so I put them in it this time. I'll have to wait and try it tomorrow after it "sits up", as we say in Texas. lol It sure smells delicious with the jalapeno in it. Can't wait to try it.

This is a nice simple recipie. I found one that I simply adore and it is as similar as I can find to Palmetto brand pimento cheese. It’s 2 cups shredded sharp or extra sharp cheese, 8 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup of mayo ( I’m from Mississippi but living in Idaho so I can’t get Dukes. I buy Best Foods which is the same as Hellman’s.), 4 oz drained pimentos, 1/4 t. of garlic, onion and cayenne. I’m so in love with it!

[@montimitchellsr]

Looks good can’t wait to make it, try it on white toast with lettuce and tomato, how about Miracle Whip what’s your thoughts on that

Hi Monti, Please, do not use a sweet mayo such as Miracle Whip. Use a regular mayonnaise for good pimento cheese. TFW God bless!!

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi seanviv2, this is the basic recipe and the true southern one. Nowadays they add cream cheese and other ingredients that take it further into artery clogging! The 2 cheeses I used ( 1 sharp & 1 mild) are the best combination and the old southern way of making it. The best way to gauge the amt. of mayo is to add what you think is enough, refrigerate for several hours, when you take it out if you can't stir it, you must add more mayonnaise. Thank you for your comments. One last thing: do not use a sweet mayo such as miracle whip, you'll be disappointed in the result. Enjoy my friend!!

Looks yummy. do you think Green chillies dices or sliced might be good?

[@Handsthatcook]

Hi Stephanie! Honestly, you can put anything (within reason) into pimento cheese, finely cut celery would be good also. Just remember the star of the show is the cheese and mayo! Thanks for watching and commenting.

Stephanie yowza Hi again Stephanie, Thanks for subscribing. I try to always answer comments. Sometimes the "system" doesn't tell me when I have a comment and in those cases, I cannot answer what I don't know exists!
