[@MrsS3lfDestruct]

Hey guys- I went onto Southern Living to find the actual ingredients list. Here it is: 1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained 1 ½ cups mayonnaise 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. finely grated yellow onion ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper 1 (8-oz.) block extra-sharp yellow Cheddar cheese, finely shredded 1 (8-oz.) block sharp yellow Cheddar cheese, shredded

[@commonsense8012]

Thank you very much Doll, I have watch 3 videos and not one gave actual amounts of the ingredients to add. Thanks again 😎

[@christinerepoff4808]

Thank you for printing the recipe.

[@RaymondCore]

I'm from New Orleans, some say it is in the South, and I don't know anyone who doesn't pronounce the 't' in pimiento.

[@HueyPPLong]

There’s definitely more than one “South” The upland mountain south. The coastal, Virginia Carolinas and Georgia. The gulf. Tons of diversity within “the south”

[@mylifeanddeathrmusic]

I say pimenTO

[@sandraskalnik387]

Agree

[@saramoore2827]

Nope Nope Nope. In South Georgia we pronounce it like "Pomina" cheese. We tend to skip the "t" sound. We make it with equal parts of sharp cheddar and pepper jack, mixed with your favorite mayo and minced Jalapeño. The secret is to add in your favorite spices such as creole seasoning. 😊

[@Sam_T2000]

yea she’s on drugs.

[@BaneKlv]

Mike Ehrmantraut would love this

[@patriciadeshong3618]

I use pimento chees on a chicken or turkey sandwich instead of sliced cheese the difference is amazing!

[@jaxxonjinx6763]

You should try a grilled pimento cheese sandwich. You cook it just like your classic grilled cheese.

[@AnnapolisGirly]

My mom made the best pimento cheese. She wasn’t super into cooking but this was where she shined. From Arkansas and transplanted to DC where many friends had never had it, and they loved it! PS Dukes really elevates this over Hellmans IMO.

[@DrO111-z1v]

JFG is where it's at

[@jesusxcrust]

Grilled pimento cheese. My granny use to make it for me ❤️

[@brplatten1273]

❤❤❤❤

[@ronanmorris2250]

There's a place Under the Hill in Natchez that makes those. Truly one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten.

[@morpheus3190]

same here. the best way to eat it.

[@barbaratensley5284]

Can you give exact measurements for this recipe?

[@Zampther]

If the cheddar is as sharp as her voice they are in for a treat!

[@carolbenson6524]

Was looking for the authentic pimento cheese recipe... this sounds perfect 😅

[@melissagahn]

I loved this (pimento cheese spread) as a kid My Southern granny (RIP) made it and kept it in her fridge all the time. As an adult now, I would love to try your recipe; it looks and sounds very good and easy to make. Thank you.

[@davepauley3788]

Thanks I'm a single dad it was awesome my daughter and I had a big crowd new years party it went over great ty

[@michaelmcnally1242]

Personally for stuff like this (and not a lot of other things), garlic powder and onion powder work better for me _in the long run_. Fresh onion and garlic are great, but in leftover spread they can get "haunted" after a couple days. Granulated garlic and onion powder are not as "fresh" but they bring their own magic, and in fact you can use both fresh and dried for more depth. Or, if you want to be really fancy, you can roast the garlic in advance and then smush/mince it. The pre-cooking mellows it out and prevents the infestation of ghosts.

[@annmcevoy9299]

Yes to addition of garlic and onion powder! Less mayo, rinse and blot dry pimento, maybe sub some cream cheese for all the mayo. Just a suugestion!

[@daborrahbush7870]

How much of them do you add

[@michaelmcnally1242]

@@daborrahbush7870 Well not much; they go a long way. So in maybe a little bowl of cheese like in this example, not more than 1/4 tsp probably of either, probably less. The idea is to add some hints, not strong flavors.

[@paulinecrawford3897]

Miss the Southern Living show & you! This recipe looks yummy!

[@6.2ltrv85]

Looks nice, I am glad you did NOT put cream cheese in it even tho you said its optional. For some reason I just cannot CAN NOT get the cream cheese in it to appeal to me. I just do not like it. (to each their own) The onion is a new take on it, I am going to give that a try. I am surprised at watching a couple videos that you all drain the pimenTo juices? I always PUT the juices in it to make it have a flavor lol. Welp, we each do it differently and it is fun to see a different take on it. Thanks

[@DeAnnaYah]

I have been looking at ingredients of store bought pimento ch. and I was shocked to see onion myself. The cream cheese is also an ingredient in all of the pepper Jack pimento cheeses in stores. That surprised me too.

[@DeAnnaYah]

This looks great! And you are very likable. I would recommend you not read comments in the middle of your recipe. I’ve no doubt ppl like myself that just needed a quick recipe will probably move on the moment you start reading comments. I know I did. But I came back and just fast forwarded. It would be nice if you had the recipe in the description. Giving you a thumbs up because I like you. But video is way longer than needs to be. Imho 😏 But I do appreciate your efforts. And it looks very good! ❤️

[@johnkozup9959]

Thanks Ivy. I've loved pimento cheese since I first had it in the early 1980's. Never had the recipe, so I'll just eyeball it. Until later. I have to go shop now....

[@sharonwilliams5965]

I like sliced tart apples with pimento cheese

[@donnafloyd4681]

Where can I see the actual recipe? Ivy doesn’t mention the amounts for each ingredient?

[@igiveupfine]

a recipe i follow is zingermans deli. you can probably start off with this and add her modifications in (i copied it from the google search result): 1/2 pound sharp cheddar, coarsely grated (we use two-year aged Cabot cheddar from Vermont). 1 cup mayonnaise, I prefer Hellman’s up here. Out West the same mayo is sold under the brand name Best Foods 2 ounces by weight roasted red peppers, diced (about 1/4 cup) 3/4 teaspoon juice from the roasted peppers, if you’re using jarred roasted peppers 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper Scant 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste Pinch coarse sea salt although her version looks like it might use more pimento and more cheese, not sure.

[@phyllissmith4762]

She used a pound of cheese. 2 8oz blocks. Just FYI

[@igiveupfine]

@@phyllissmith4762 what i copy/pasted was just the original recipe/size that a follow. it just looks like what she showed in the video is just 2x what the recipe above shows. because visually, it still does look about the same as mine when it's all mixed up, in the end. ALTHOUGH, since i was going to add in the onion she suggested, that means, for my original amounts, i need to add in, only 1/2tsp of onion. that could have really ruined my batch. i'll make a note, thanks.

[@kimberlynw1799]

Looks so delicious ❤

[@LeeB5]

Where is the recipe that shows us amounts of each ingredient?

[@igiveupfine]

a little bit of sweet onion. i'll have to try that. thanks. edit: so i did try it. the end effect came out to being, like a touch of acid in the final flavor. could have the same effect from a dash of vinegar, or a dash of hot sauce. i feel the trouble of grating a little bit of onion is a bit much to deal with.

[@BobL-y8c]

The best pimiento cheese sandwich is made at the Augusta National Golf Club during Masters week.

[@moebadderman227]

...and it costs only $1.50

[@ashleygreen6277]

Excellent instruction. There are a lot of different varieties of pimento and cheese spread,and this one looks very good. As far as the pronunciation of pimento., i grew up in north Mississippi, and I remember the t as being almost skipped over, but not entirely. It was barely detectable, but it was there.

[@mikefisc9989]

"The best pimento cheese recipe that you will never make", would have been a better video title since there is no recipe anywhere in the video or the description.

[@philipthompson2436]

Eyeball it my brother!

[@Uprightfossil]

When I don’t see a recipe. I keep looking and give this video a thumbs down

[@suzannebenz8928]

Thank you!

[@hobleyprod]

I used Pre shredded cheese. The idea that it doesn’t work is bogus. Don’t believe the myth. I get mine at H‑E‑B in Texas.

[@AnthonyJMurph]

I was just about to come here and say that. Preshredded cheese will work as well. You will just have to adjust the ingredients to make it thicker (you would have to do this anyway since the portions have to been done a little by sight)

[@edzmuda6870]

Yep. There are some occasions where pre-shredded cheese won’t work. Pimento cheese isn’t one of them.

[@k8schmate]

I’m in Seattle and I keep going back to the grocery store to get this one pimiento cheese from North Carolina…it is so good, it kicked off my recent weight gain. I had to stop it was getting really bad, how many I was going through.

[@suestephenson6506]

I’m so glad you didn’t put cream cheese in your pimento cheese. I’ve been making pimento cheese for 60 years and never put cream cheese in it, I always, always use mayonnaise

[@karloskolumbus9829]

[@dylerturden8018]

Put cha ****** away waltuh

[@brplatten1273]

I'm sorry I'm a 66 year-old Southern pimento cheese you just rent it for me with cayenne pepper and onions

[@kristinaandthegerman4554]

This Texan who has been transplanted to Tennessee didn’t realize there was a T in the word pimento until I saw it in writing. 😂

[@perryandmichelle]

How much mayo?

[@tonyawykle4966]

[@melissacomer8404]

Homemade pimento cheese is 3 ingredients. 8 oz Sharp Cracker Barrel cheese (freshly grated), Duke's Mayo (to taste) and a small jar of diced pimentos. Nothing less, nothing more.

[@reginamaraist3340]

I TRIED A PIMENTO CHEESE RECIPE, THOUGH NOT YOURS, AND IT, TOO, WAS MADE WITH CHEDAR CHEESE AND I DID NOT LIKE THE SHARPNESS. 8I WILL TRY AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WITH AMERICAN CHEESE.

[@Tastyplus1]

Your recipe is awesome and will go very high.of course it will be very tasty to eat.😋 I love it .I will definitely try it.You will tell me in the comments. How do you like my recipes?Thanks...🤗👏👍

[@camirichardson7485]

Where does one find the amounts for each item in the recipe? I watched the video twice but only ingredients without the amounts for such. FRUSTRATING to say the least!

[@thedanielfamily1595]

BUT, the PREFERRED cracker………..is a Ritz!

[@sandraskalnik387]

You are absolutely correct. Just like no”T” in pimento the little lady is also wrong about the preferred choice of cracker.

[@barbarasue7191]

Yummy. I tried Dukes and didn't care for it.

[@annettewebster4113]

Must not be from the South!

[@osagemonster]

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

Everyone I know in Tennessee, clearly says "pimento" with the "t".

[@markp5762]

7:12 I'm currently doing that at this moment. lol

[@kalamcrae5277]

Lol I laughed at her comment about pronouncing the "t". I am southern and still pronounce the "t".

[@AngieCurl]

Sharp cheddar is a hard pass. Pepper jack or colby jack is my cheese of choice.

[@RealBigBadJohn]

➡ I'm from the South and absolutely pronounce the T in pimento. ⬅ I also use diced pimentos in my recipe but never drain them. You're just throwing away flavor when you do that.

[@avaruth7651]

Same, whole maternal line comes from Moultrie and we say it with the T.

[@ronjames4151]

I always thought i disliked pimento cheese as a kid then realized as an adult i didnt like the grocery store premade stuff

[@Catastrophic-hk3mh]

As a lifelong southerner, I can assure you that we don't all speak like this. Some of us do know proper English. So many "Southern Tubers" make jokes about it and honestly it's not funny. We don't all wear overalls and go barefoot and have no education.

[@kasa9884]

I grew up in Tennessee (near the Smokies), but majority of my upbringing was in middle Georgia. We say the "t" in pimento. SMH. You know the South has various dialects, even within one state like ours in Georgia! I thought a professional magazine like Southern Living would have a more professional video. Please provide an actual recipe in the video. I make my pimento cheese a bit different, but I was interested in learning other variations.

[@LorenIpsem]

Wow that voice. You could grate the cheese on it.

[@c.h.2392]

"Pah-men-a" if you're in the country

[@cour2knee]

“If you’re saying the “to” you’re not from the south” yeah… acting like you’re lesser if you’re not southern- how welcoming and “southern”

[@robrenhar]

Where's the jalapeños?😊

[@sylviagibson4639]

Does traditional Piminto Cheese have Worcestershire sauce?

[@AngieCurl]

I have never put it in mine. I am sure it’s fine tho.

[@Jacabiem]

No. But it’s really good. Just like a traditional cheese ball.

[@nancyowens9076]

How come you dont give theamounts to the ingredients?

[@Rapscallion2009]

I learned about this stuff from Breaking Bad. Wanted to try it ever since, but it isn't a thing in the United Kingdom.

[@janedern34]

Try it, you'll love it but I don't drain my pimentos nor do I add onion

[@KathyCrossley-h1t]

I don’t care for the commercial

[@lordvader5540]

I never knew anyone raised in the south who pronounced the 't' in pimiento. I do not.

[@kevinrowan4656]

If you're putting onions in your pimento cheese dip please stop calling yourself a southerner cuz you ain't

[@Angela-g9e6f]

Gotta add some sugar and a splash of evaporated milk! Perfection!

[@marionmarsh318]

LOLLOLLOLLOL...OhhhhhhhMG!!! Soooooooo don't make yourself sick...LOL...

[@jcflyer6213]

You're completely wrong Pimento cheese actually originated in New York.

[@nancyowens9076]

Where's your recipe 😮?

[@clickingbuttons27]

LADY if u from the south you dont say MILD you say mald And you dont say "pecawn" Its PEECAN

[@SA-hf3fu]

I understand you not giving us the amounts but I will move on since there are lots of recipes out there for free,

[@natalierickett1302]

I’m from Alabama born and raised, I always use the t when saying pimento cheese. So don’t make a statement saying if you use the tee you aren’t from the south. Not smart. SMH

[@melissahoney8317]

sorry but pimento chees is not a souther, it is from new york state in 1870 it is a Yankee food not a southern food

[@yannigirl1]

Girl I can’t believe you pronounced “pecans” like your from the north. 🤣 I’m just messing with you!

[@toddnallastx]

I am from SC. We pronounce the t in pimento! I have never heard anyone pronounce it "pimeno" until today!!!!! This may not include you, but all southerners are not illiterate. Your representation of us is an embarrassment.

[@roberts3993]

if you pronounce words correctly you aren't from the south....checks out

[@stanlgr32opq]

No recipe. How do we make it? Dislike.
