incredible pimento cheese spread
This is my mother's version of pimento cheese spread. Serve with your favorite crackers. This can be frozen ahead of time and then thawed in the fridge the day before a holiday or picnic/cookout.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Not your traditional Southern pimento cheese, but it's creamy and slightly sweet with plenty of pimentos in each bite. It comes from a time when Miracle Whip and processed cheese were popular. But there are also 2 pounds of shredded cheddar cheese, so very cheesy. We'd never added sugar, but it does add a slight sweetness we enjoyed. If you don't like, Velveeta or Miracle Whip, sub them for mayonnaise and more cheddar cheese. The taste will be different, but this is a basic pimento cheese recipe that can be tweaked to suit taste buds. It's delicious spread on crackers or turned into a sandwich with white bread.
