Homemade Pimento Cheese

I never knew how much I like pimento cheese until I tried my Grandmama’s recipe. Every time we go to her house for a visit, she has a bowl of pimento cheese and a platter of vegetables and crackers. Just the way her grandchildren like it. And it might suprise you how much we eat, but once you try this recipe yourself, you’ll understand why.

It’s pretty much impossible to not devour the entire batch in one sitting—with the rest of the family of course. But I have had a lot of those types of things happening  all the time. So now, every time I make this, I super secretly put some of  it in a tupperware container for later uses. Getting caught in the act is not fun. Just…take my word for it.

Not fun.

    To stretch your budget (and make the creamiest pimento cheese!) add cream cheese to the recipe. It’s delicious. I grew up on your recipe and love it, but Palmetto brand pimento cheese has won me over with its cream cheese addition.
