Homemade

PIMENTO CHEESE
1 pound or 16 ounces shredded SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE
8 ounce block CREAM CHEESE, softened
4 ounce jar diced PIMENTOS, drained
1/2 to 3/4 cup MAYO
1 tsp to 1 tbsp grated Onion
Sprinkle of SMOKED PAPRIKA to taste
fresh ground BLACK PEPPER to taste
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer until as creamy as you like. I like mine to have lots of texture. Enjoy with pretzels, celery sticks or your favorite cracker. Make a toasted grilled pimento cheese sandwhich for a nice treat. Put it on burgers to melt for your cheese. Put inside jalapeno halves and wrap in bacon to make jalapeno poppers.

Amy. know this is a 2 year old video. but today I did it...and you were right to post a warning before this video....OMG!!!! I saw the amount of pimento cheese you made up and I thought I'll do half the recipe cause I'm the only one in my house that likes pimento cheese....this is the BEST, THE BEST, DID I SAY THE BEST??!!??!!! pimento cheese I have EVER in my 63 years have eaten!!! no longer will I even try that over salted stuff with 3 pimentos store bought pimento cheese again!!! I had even stopped eating it because since I have cut back on my salt consumption and stopped using salt with iodine, I have real problems with food being too salty, even restaurant food can be too salty....all you get here is this creamy, cheesey other tasting thing that is PERFECT!!!....all I can say is I'm glad I have the other half of the ingredients cause I will be eating this up in probably 2 days and will want more.....I know you are with your family on the beach for vacation, but I just had to post this somewhere...so all y'all out there it is REAL the WARNING!!! IF you make this you will NEVER be able to eat store bought again.....but hey it is so easy to make who cares!!!!

Absolutely right! Once you make it at home you'll NEVER eat the store bought stuff again! There's only one brand that I used to get in N. Carolina that was seriously like homemade but a 12oz container cost as much as what you can make with a lb. of cheese. The only difference between your recipe and mine is I add about a ¼ c. of cheese whiz (I always get the store brand, I didn't know what else to call it though). And to keep it from getting too hard after being in the fridge. I put my mayonnaise, cream cheese, pimentos (with juice) & cheese whiz into my little 2 c. food processor and whir it together (easier for me as I'm handicapped from a stroke a few years ago & can only use one arm) then pour it over my cheese (I use 1 block extra sharp & 1 Colby jack shredded with my KitchenAid) and I use onion powder, smoked paprika & coarse ground black pepper. And if you've never tried it on a hamburger or in scrambled eggs..... that's the next thing you need to do!!! Thank you for your "show". I can't drive anymore and only work 15 hrs. a wk., my husband works out of town, so you keep me company. Take care & God bless. Rose

[@amyslouisianakitchen]

I bet the cheese whiz is good in it. I still use cheese whiz in my broccoli rice casserole. Just seems nostalgic.

[@pamelaking9715]

So true, I have used many varieties of cheese, and sometimes I'll add green onions, and sometimes finely minced bell peppers. A small dash of cayenne pepper is so good too!

Cheese Wiz would be a perfect addition to add creaminess !! 👏🏼 👍🏼
