Description

Just four simple ingredients to make pimento cheese at home. Some people use just cheddar but the Velveeta gives it a awesome consistency.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1-½ cup Original Velveeta, Shredded
  • 2 ounces, fluid Jar Pimentos, With Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons - 4 Tablespoons Regular Mayonnaise

Preparation

Make sure all the ingredients are well chilled. Shred the Velveeta cheese and shred the cheddar cheese. Add half of the sharp cheddar cheese to a bowl and then add half of the Velveeta cheese. Mix well, then add the remaining cheese in the same order. By adding half of each at a time, it helps it mix together better. Add pimentos and juice–I use about half of the pimento juice. Add the mayonnaise and mix well. If the pimento cheese is too thick, you can add more juice or a bit more mayonnaise. If it is too thin, add more cheese. Mine was perfect with the above measurements. Let chill and serve on crackers, celery or make finger sandwiches.

You forgot the black pepper and pickle!! Ok… maybe just the black pepper if pickle/relish isn’t your thing….

Oh goodness we do love out bacon in the south. Pimento cheese is a southern staple.

When it said southern, thought there was bacon in it and got all excited.
