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.
You guys are going to love this easy-to-make homemade pimento cheese! You can even use pre-shredded cheese to save time.

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.
How much cream cheese to the pimento cheese recipe?
Hi Barbara! No cream cheese in this recipe 🙂
I add 1/2 brick of cream cheese to my pimento cheese recipe. Soften and mixed well with the mayo before adding the rest of the ingredients!
Sounds delicious Judy! 🙂

My grandmother used to make me pimento cheese, too! There is absolutely nothing like homemade pimento cheese. Thanks for bringing back the memories! Visiting from the DIY Sunday Showcase.
I’ve never been one to eat Pimento Cheese growing up. My family loved it, and this recipe finally got me to try it for myself. I’m officially a fan and even featured it on my blog! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. Yum!!
