Thank you for showing me how to make this! My dad is 82 years old, and born and raised in Tipp City, Ohio. He now lives in Washington and I take care of him. I made this for him for lunch and he loved it, he said " It taste like mom's when I was a boy" The look in his eyes and the smile on his face was priceless! I love my dad and thanks again.
Hi Dimity, I'm so glad this pleased your Dad...he's the only one you'll ever have and making our parents happy in their "golden years" is a priority in my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed it.
Dimity Long How sweet, I took care of my parents for 6.5 yrs , love it and I wish they were still here, lost both a little over a year ago and I haven't been the same since
Hey Linda. I've been watching "Hands That Cook" from my home in Southern North Carolina. I'm 64, and have lived alone for many years now. Your recipe ... I'm going to try to make it, because I like Pimiento Cheese too. Thank you, and GOD bless you, sweet Linda.
Hi Randolph, It's good to hear from you and I appreciate you watching. Use your favorite cheese whatever it may be. You don't have to use the two I used....use your own judgement. You won't be disappointed. Please let me know how you like it. Take care and God Bless, Linda
Good Monday morning (May 8th, 2017), Linda. Thank you for your very kind response. I promise to let you know how I like it as soon as I can. Oh, and please say hello to Sam for me. I forgot it yesterday. GOD bless you all, ... Randolph.
I will certainly tell Sam you said hello...he has a big ego and will be thrilled that someone said hello to him. Thanks again for watching & God Bless!!! Linda
I'm so glad that Sam will be thrilled that I sent him a big "Hello!" While I was watching your "Good Old Country Meal," you have a new Subscriber ... Me!!! I am very blessed to have you and Sam in my life now. Randolph
Thank you so much Randolph for the compliment and also for subbing. I really appreciate it and think I am blessed to have you as a subscriber! God Bless, Linda
Thank you for showing us how to make pimento cheese spread.We live in NJ but are originally from WVa.I have never made my own spread but I sure will now.Soooo good.Thank you again.
That's where I first had them. Charleston to be exact. I'm in NYC and nobody knows of this delicious treat. I use SOPHIA brand roasted red peppers and shred the cheese myself. Sour cream instead of mayo or 50/50 on potato bread and it's a wrap.
I'm so glad you like it Denise. Pimento cheese is a staple in the South. It's a favorite among Southerners and has been around for many, many years. TFW God Bless, Linda
Being born and raised in the south my family tried for years to get me to eat it... just didn't care for it... Lol so today I've made my family proud...😅 They were thinking something was wrong with me.... Chicken salad was my preferred choice that or PBJ.. But this is really good.... Had to subscribe to your channel too, gotta see your other goodies... Thanks a bunch an have a truly Blessed day.😊
@@Denise-cq6lk Welcome Denise! I know you'll find other recipes you want to try. I like easy cooking for the busy family and they're all good! God Bless, Linda
I grew up in the South and pimento cheese sandwiches are something I miss dearly. I had no idea the recipe was so simple. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to try this!
Tommy R. Hi Tommy, use your favorite cheddar, grate it yourself (for the absolute best tasting) or do as I did and use a pre-grated GOOD cheese and a GOOD mayo. Close your eyes and you're back in the South. Back in the day, this was all that was in pimento cheese, no onions, cream cheese, jalapenos, or grain bread. Just pimentos, cheese, good mayo and served on white bread only. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope this brings you back to your youth! Enjoy!!
Great video ! Being raised in the south, we grew up on this exact same recipe for pimento cheese. And yes, it is spread on un-toasted store bought plain white bread.
Good video, thank you for sharing. Yes, pimento cheese sandwiches are a great Southern tradition. They serve them at the Masters golf tournament. I have loved pimento cheese sandwiches since I was a small child, my mama used to make it for me. My brother liked pimento cheese spread on a cinnamon roll, one of the guys he worked with introduced him to it one day at their break time, he said don't knock till you try it. I did and I liked it.
You're welcome Matt! This is pimento cheese made in the '50's, without cream cheese,onions and all the other "stuff" they add now. TFW God Bless, Linda
Going to make this today, I'm a big golf fan. I'm going to make this during Masters week, with a Arnold Palmer while I'm watching. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes.
+Glenda Wilkins Thank you Glenda, I hope to keep supplying the best recipes (things I would eat) to all of you. If you have any requests, please let me know. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi! I am so glad I found this video. My pastor asked if I would make some peanut butter or pimento cheese sandwiches for our church's New Years Eve service, until now I realized it's something I can actually do. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hello Jessa, This will make some great pimento cheese sandwiches for you! Thank you for watching and subscribing! Let me know how this turns out for you!
***** Hello, I did make the sandwiches. I think I added too much mayo (or it could have been the brand I used), but other than that the recipe is really delicious :). Is there any mayo substitutions I could try next time?
Jessa Hughes Hi Jessa, Pimento Cheese isn't pimento cheese without mayonnaise. Don't use a "sweet" mayo like Miracle Whip. The best mayo is hellmans, Dukes or Sauers. I wouldn't use any other brand and good cheese. To keep from using too much, add what you think is a sufficient amount (of mayo) put it in the fridge till it's cold and when you take it out, if it's hard to stir or spread, you need more mayonnaise. I hope this helps you. Good luck and thanks for getting back to me with your question. Sorry, you must use mayonnaise. Try again making a smaller batch. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Mmmmm this looks good I'm going too be trying to make this soon for my husband and kids!!!! I am subscribing too your channel I loovveee your southern twang!!!!
the most simple and basic recipe i've seen.....which i love, cause it lets the pimento be the star, as it should be.....with thanks, from Camridge, Ontario, Canada
Hi Linda. I've been watching your channel for sometime now. When I switched to this recipe, I was in the process of making some. I'm from Texas and you are right, this is just a standard thing we eat during the summertime of if I get a "hankering" for it in the winter. I live alone also, but my son and his family live right across from me so I furnish them with it when I make it. He loves mexican food, so I put them in it this time. I'll have to wait and try it tomorrow after it "sits up", as we say in Texas. lol It sure smells delicious with the jalapeno in it. Can't wait to try it. You recipes and all good and southern and there ain't no food like southern cooing in my book!! God Bless You and Stay Safe. Linda D. from Texas
Thank you Linda. I'm glad your son and daughter in law are so close to you. You're right about southern cooking!!! TFW God bless and you and your family stay safe!!
@@Handsthatcook Thank you so much.You're the only one who has ever responded to one of my comments. It's appreciated so very much. God Bless you as well and as alway PLEASE BE SAFE yourself. Love is sent your way.
Ok, I just figured it out today that American soldiers from the South must have brought this recipe to the Philippines pre-WW2 because it is such a popular sandwich filling throughout the whole entire country. They melt the cheese, add sugar or condensed milk just for a little sweetness, mayonnaise and/or butter. I am so going to make this. Thank you!
Most of the time less is more and that's the way I feel about pimento cheese! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on this recipe!!!! LInda
Yummy! Had this at my brother's house in Columbia, South Carolina...this and a glass of some sweet tea sister Elsie Mae made :-) what a nice southern memory that was. Thanks for the recipe!
This is a nice simple recipie. I found one that I simply adore and it is as similar as I can find to Palmetto brand pimento cheese. It’s 2 cups shredded sharp or extra sharp cheese, 8 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup of mayo ( I’m from Mississippi but living in Idaho so I can’t get Dukes. I buy Best Foods which is the same as Hellman’s.), 4 oz drained pimentos, 1/4 t. of garlic, onion and cayenne. I’m so in love with it!
I used to get a pimento cheese on white at Sander's in Downtown Detroit along with a hot fudge cream puff for dessert all the time in the early 80s with my grandma or great aunt. Today I had a hankerin' and lo and behold! I'mna make this! Thanks for the simple recipe!
My late father used to make pimento cheese like your pimento cheese - Except Dad used Kraft Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. Also Dad used to "Obtain" the Commodity Cheese from his various sources which also made some very good pimento cheese with the pimentos and Kraft Miracle Whip. Thanks for taking me back several years and for making me very hungry.
Hey Linda. Whenever I get a craving for something good I always go to you first. I love pimento cheese but I have never made it. This looks awesome. I can't wait to make this. Love your show and love you bunches! 😘🌈
Thank you so much Kim. That really means a lot to me and keeps me making videos. You'll like this pimento cheese...use the cheeses you like best and you won't be disappointed. TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda
+Natal Ribeiro Hello Natal Once you try this, you'll love it. At least here in the South of the U.S.....it's very, very popular and eaten often. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment and hello to Brazil from me!!!!
+Natal Ribeiro Hello Natal You will love this sandwich and it's good on toasted bread too or fixed like a toasted cheese in a frying pan. Thank you for watching and commenting!! Linda
I love mayonnaise so making this is going to be easy. This weekend I'm buying everything and I'll take your advise after it's in the fridge I'll add more mayo if it's too hard. OMG you started something I'll be the #1 fan of pimento cheese that's for sure. Thank you!
Hi seanviv2, if you follow the recipe I gave you (1 pkg mild, 1 pkg sharp) you'll love this recipe. I'm excited for you and hope you like this old southern recipe as much as I do. Thanks for watching and commenting! Let me hear from you after you make this so you can give me your honest opinion.
I used to eat Kraft's pimento cheese spread as a childhood favorite. This is the first time I've seen a recipe for it. The closest I've come was combining cream cheese with pimento stuffed olives. I've always considered Hellman's mayonnaise worth the cost.
I’m from New Jersey and when I moved down to South Georgia I had never heard of pimento cheese but I tried on day for lunch and oh lord I’ve been hooked and I’m the only one in my family that like it’s
Moved to the Northwest so hard to find pimento's but my mom passed last year and I couldn't remember if I remember the recipe correctly. This helped big time, just need to find the store that sells pimento's. Thank you.
That’s similar to the way I make it only I add ago healthy portion of horseradish about a heaping tablespoon or adjust to taste. Which gives it a little kick.
+Connie Robinson Hi Connie I hope you'll enjoy this truly Southern Pimento cheese....back in the day it was only these three ingredients: cheese (freshly grated) mayonnaise and pimentos. Now they add cream cheese and onions, etc. Of course you can add anything you want but the true southern way is the video above. Thank you for watching and commenting. Enjoy!!
Thank you Richard. I hope you'll enjoy this recipe for many years to come. When you watch my videos, you can think about your special friend. Thanks for watching and commenting!
hi i just made some pimento cheese a couple of days ago from another recipe that had cream cheese in it..it was pretty good..but i am so gonna make this one...looks so much better...i grew up on ruth's pimento cheese and duke's mayonnaise..i love mine toasted..oh so good..i could live off of pimento cheese sandwiches..my husband thought the other one tasted better than the store bought..can't wait to see is his reaction on this one..thank you for this recipe...going in my recipe book under favorites....
Hi Karen, This recipe won't disappoint you. Be sure to use the combination of cheeses and a good mayo (like Dukes or Hellman's), rinse the pimentos, add your mayo and refrigerate. If it's hard after it has chilled THEN add more mayo. Old fashioned pimento cheese did not have cream cheese in it, just mayo, cheese and pimento. Let me know how you like it and thanks for watching and commenting!
***** will definitely let you know..cream cheese was ok,but....lol..and i always added more mayo to my store bought pimento cheese...will let you know after i make this....
we loved this recipe...i used dukes as thats what we grew up on here...i love toasted pimento cheese sandwiches...thank you again for the recipe..i have it copied in my book for future use..
Linda thank you so much I found your recipe and we'll have to try this I have never had homemade when I was younger they used to be a pimento cheese in a jar like a small jar that and I think you could reuse the jars that's classes I could be wrong but at any rate thank you so much for the recipe I appreciate it
hello Linda this is Gloria again from va.I just got though watching you make the pimento cheese that I love and is expensive in the store and I read all the comments so I will be making it soon and the recipe of the skillet pie but I'm going to use blue berries and if I like it I will try apples next. Linda I will get back with you and let you know how all this turns out, and by the way I all ways use helman's mayo and love cheese so I'm sure the pimento cheese is going to be a winner. you take care my friend and God bless. 💜
Thank you Gloria, I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos and will get back with me with an honest opinion. I appreciate you watching and commenting!! God Bless, Linda
I was taught to use cheddar & cream cheeses. A little bit of mayo and pimentos, then Add white pepper and a dash of salt on white bread. Only on YT have I learned that the base was cheddar and mayo. I find the true southern recipes are like yours! Thanks! Do you ever grill the sandwich? It's good!
Northeast Texas in the late 70s we use government block cheese with pimentos, Miracle Whip and a dash of garlic powder. When Mom would make this every kid in the neighborhood would come running.
sounds good for sandwich spread. make mine by heating heavy cream to just starting to simmer then beating till tick and add pimentoes. nice to know another way to make it
I grew up on my Mother's Pimento Cheese. She would also make Bread n Butter Pickles. I still make them and love Pimento Cheese and Ham Sandwiches with the BnB Pickles.
Are you going to come out with the cookbook spoon I would love to buy a cookbook with your recipes in it I love to watch your video and fix your recipes I love your pimento cheese and you're cabbage casserole I made the cabbage casserole four times already I could eat that everyday
Hi Lina, I don't have a cookbook in progress and don't know when I will. I'm sorry but all my recipes are listed in the SHOW MORE section of each video for you to copy. I'm happy you're enjoying them!! TFW God bless!
Fab Life Hi Fab, I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Pimento cheese is so simple! How can something so simple be so good? Try it with sliced pineapple in a sandwich, oh so good! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi Deborah There is ALMOST nothing better than a pimento cheese sandwich. Try it with bacon or pineapple slices...it's so good! You can also top your hamburgers with it... TFW God Bless, Linda
I had it before store bought and the one at trader jokes wasn't that good it was kind of sweet. I'm a Cali girl and didn't grow up with it. Your recipe has changed me fresh made is best and your recipe looks so good I'm craving that sandwich I'm making this for sure. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Hi seanviv2, this is the basic recipe and the true southern one. Nowadays they add cream cheese and other ingredients that take it further into artery clogging! The 2 cheeses I used ( 1 sharp & 1 mild) are the best combination and the old southern way of making it. The best way to gauge the amt. of mayo is to add what you think is enough, refrigerate for several hours, when you take it out if you can't stir it, you must add more mayonnaise. Thank you for your comments. One last thing: do not use a sweet mayo such as miracle whip, you'll be disappointed in the result. Enjoy my friend!!
Missouri state doesn't have Duke, that I know of. But a grocery store changed ownership and he said he would be able to get whatever I needed. I guess I will be finding out when I tell him about your Favorite name brand dressing. 😁👍 Thank You for your Delicious recipe 💞💐👏👏👏
I'm not from the south at all but I saw this on a commercial and wanted to try it. How is it supposed to taste? Right now mine is pretty cheesy. I don't really have a blend of other flavors in there. The ad said to add cayenne so how much spice should it have?
If you watched my video, it has nothing but cheese and mayonnaise, but what and how much you add depends on your tastes. If you want it spicy, add the cayenne. Here in the South, all you add is cheese and mayonnaise mixed well and you eat it on white bread. TFW and I hope this helps! God Bless, Linda
hi, no ma'm no criticism here. I enjoyed your video and appreciate your response. I don't think anything is wrong with your recipe. it must have been something I did. keep making great videos. I enjoy them and they help us a lot.

This is a nice simple recipie. I found one that I simply adore and it is as similar as I can find to Palmetto brand pimento cheese.

I buy Best Foods which is the same as Hellman’s.), 4 oz drained pimentos, 1/4 t. of garlic, onion and cayenne. I’m so in love with it!

This weekend I'm buying everything and I'll take your advise after it's in the fridge I'll add more mayo if it's too hard.
OMG you started something I'll be the #1 fan of pimento cheese that's for sure.
Thank you!
Hi seanviv2, if you follow the recipe I gave you (1 pkg mild, 1 pkg sharp) you'll love this recipe. I'm excited for you and hope you like this old southern recipe as much as I do. Thanks for watching and commenting! Let me hear from you after you make this so you can give me your honest opinion.
I am going to fix this thanks for the recipe
I used to eat Kraft's pimento cheese spread as a childhood favorite. This is the first time I've seen a recipe for it. The closest I've come was combining cream cheese with pimento stuffed olives. I've always considered Hellman's mayonnaise worth the cost.
I’m from New Jersey and when I moved down to South Georgia I had never heard of pimento cheese but I tried on day for lunch and oh lord I’ve been hooked and I’m the only one in my family that like it’s
Pimento cheese is not liked by everyone, but most do like it...glad you're one of them!! TFW God Bless, Linda
Moved to the Northwest so hard to find pimento's but my mom passed last year and I couldn't remember if I remember the recipe correctly. This helped big time, just need to find the store that sells pimento's. Thank you.
Hi Heather, just ask the grocer. He or she should know exactly where they are and enjoy this delicious pimento cheese. God Bless, Linda
Usually in the pickle area.

Surely, there are pimentos in the NW! Or order from walmart & receive at your door.
Hi Linda! I've made this before a couple of times as a sandwich spread, but not in several years. I guess it's back down to the Supermarket lol!
You KNOW I'm laughing!!!
@@Handsthatcook 😁
Hey looks great!! Im going to make this. I love it. Thank you for the video.
Kim Davis Hi Kim, this is very good pimento cheese and I hope you and your family enjoy it. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Looks soooo good, I'm sure gonna try some, thank you for sharing 😋
I hope you'll enjoy it! TFW God Bless
That’s similar to the way I make it only I add ago healthy portion of horseradish about a heaping tablespoon or adjust to taste. Which gives it a little kick.
I'll bet that does give it a good kick! TFW God bless
Looks so good. I'll be making this tomorrow!!
+Connie Robinson Hi Connie I hope you'll enjoy this truly Southern Pimento cheese....back in the day it was only these three ingredients: cheese (freshly grated) mayonnaise and pimentos. Now they add cream cheese and onions, etc. Of course you can add anything you want but the true southern way is the video above. Thank you for watching and commenting. Enjoy!!
Looks delicious!
It look good I’m going to make this weekend
Great video with clear instruction and very relaxing :)
Love the recipe and your voice, you remind me of someone very special.
Thank you Richard. I hope you'll enjoy this recipe for many years to come. When you watch my videos, you can think about your special friend. Thanks for watching and commenting!
hi i just made some pimento cheese a couple of days ago from another recipe that had cream cheese in it..it was pretty good..but i am so gonna make this one...looks so much better...i grew up on ruth's pimento cheese and duke's mayonnaise..i love mine toasted..oh so good..i could live off of pimento cheese sandwiches..my husband thought the other one tasted better than the store bought..can't wait to see is his reaction on this one..thank you for this recipe...going in my recipe book under favorites....
Hi Karen, This recipe won't disappoint you. Be sure to use the combination of cheeses and a good mayo (like Dukes or Hellman's), rinse the pimentos, add your mayo and refrigerate. If it's hard after it has chilled THEN add more mayo. Old fashioned pimento cheese did not have cream cheese in it, just mayo, cheese and pimento. Let me know how you like it and thanks for watching and commenting!
***** will definitely let you know..cream cheese was ok,but....lol..and i always added more mayo to my store bought pimento cheese...will let you know after i make this....
we loved this recipe...i used dukes as thats what we grew up on here...i love toasted pimento cheese sandwiches...thank you again for the recipe..i have it copied in my book for future use..
Karen Wicker Hi Karen, So glad this old, old recipe was what you were looking for. This is the only way I make it!
Love your videos
Linda thank you so much I found your recipe and we'll have to try this I have never had homemade when I was younger they used to be a pimento cheese in a jar like a small jar that and I think you could reuse the jars that's classes I could be wrong but at any rate thank you so much for the recipe I appreciate it
Really enjoyed your video
Thank you Wells....enjoy it!! TFW God Bless, Linda
hello Linda this is Gloria again from va.I just got though watching you make the pimento cheese that I love and is expensive in the store and I read all the comments so I will be making it soon and the recipe of the skillet pie but I'm going to use blue berries and if I like it I will try apples next. Linda I will get back with you and let you know how all this turns out, and by the way I all ways use helman's mayo and love cheese so I'm sure the pimento cheese is going to be a winner. you take care my friend and God bless. 💜
Thank you Gloria, I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos and will get back with me with an honest opinion. I appreciate you watching and commenting!! God Bless, Linda
Just like my mom used to make. My job was to shred the cheese. So good
Yum. I'd take a sandwich of that right now! I'll have to make a video to show you how I make it sometime.
I was taught to use cheddar & cream cheeses. A little bit of mayo and pimentos, then Add white pepper and a dash of salt on white bread. Only on YT have I learned that the base was cheddar and mayo. I find the true southern recipes are like yours! Thanks! Do you ever grill the sandwich? It's good!
I made this and it was awesome
It's a keeper
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! TFW God bless Merry Christmas and New Year too
I love it!!!!! I love pimento cheese but I always run out I shouldn't this way!
Hi Alexis, this is a winning combination and you'll never buy pre made pimento cheese again!! TFW and enjoy!!!
Northeast Texas in the late 70s we use government block cheese with pimentos, Miracle Whip and a dash of garlic powder. When Mom would make this every kid in the neighborhood would come running.
sounds good for sandwich spread. make mine by heating heavy cream to just starting to simmer then beating till tick and add pimentoes. nice to know another way to make it
This + Toast = Heaven! Thanks so much for sharing :)
Hi Jasmine, So glad you like it. I know you'll make it many more times in years to come. TFW!!
I grew up on my Mother's Pimento Cheese. She would also make Bread n Butter Pickles. I still make them and love Pimento Cheese and Ham Sandwiches with the BnB Pickles.
Sounds good PJS!! I love pimento cheese as well. TFW God Bless, Linda
its not summer and Im up north but my grandmother used to make this. I recently remember it now gone make it today.
Hello Tinkoeslady Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy this pimento cheese. God Bless, Linda
That looks tasty! I'm going to try it with bacon and tomato!
+Bella Luna There are a lot of variety in making this. Bacon and tomato sounds good. Thank you for watching and commenting. Linda
Are you going to come out with the cookbook spoon I would love to buy a cookbook with your recipes in it I love to watch your video and fix your recipes I love your pimento cheese and you're cabbage casserole I made the cabbage casserole four times already I could eat that everyday
Hi Lina, I don't have a cookbook in progress and don't know when I will. I'm sorry but all my recipes are listed in the SHOW MORE section of each video for you to copy. I'm happy you're enjoying them!! TFW God bless!
Delicious! TY sooo much ♥️
Just made a small batch and ate w/saltines. Exactly what I was craving. Thanks!
Fab Life Hi Fab, I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Pimento cheese is so simple! How can something so simple be so good? Try it with sliced pineapple in a sandwich, oh so good! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yum that looks so delicious 😋
l am going to make this , thanks Linda
Hi Deborah There is ALMOST nothing better than a pimento cheese sandwich. Try it with bacon or pineapple slices...it's so good! You can also top your hamburgers with it... TFW God Bless, Linda
Try grilled pimento cheese with bacon. OMG to die for. :)
Kim Belcher I was thinking of making grilled pimento cheese for supper tonight. The bacon sounds great! Do you put it on the sandwich or on the side?
This will go good with homemade applewood smoked bacon grilled thanks for the recipe.
Thank you for sharing
Hey Dana! I share every recipe I know...bar none. I never keep secrets about recipes...that's so silly!!! TFW God Bless, Linda
I had it before store bought and the one at trader jokes wasn't that good it was kind of sweet.
I'm a Cali girl and didn't grow up with it.
Your recipe has changed me fresh made is best and your recipe looks so good I'm craving that sandwich I'm making this for sure.
Thanks for posting the recipe.
Hi seanviv2, this is the basic recipe and the true southern one. Nowadays they add cream cheese and other ingredients that take it further into artery clogging! The 2 cheeses I used ( 1 sharp & 1 mild) are the best combination and the old southern way of making it. The best way to gauge the amt. of mayo is to add what you think is enough, refrigerate for several hours, when you take it out if you can't stir it, you must add more mayonnaise. Thank you for your comments. One last thing: do not use a sweet mayo such as miracle whip, you'll be disappointed in the result. Enjoy my friend!!
this stuff is so good . have a great night hugs n xx
Hi Kathy jo, this is a good recipe. I hope you give it a try. Thanks for watching!!!
i use to buy it in the deli at the grocery store but it was not that great . i already tried it . its great . i put the recipe in my book . ty again
lujayne Sorour what does lkr mean? sorry, I don't understand
Great recipe, simple and delicious! Thank you for making this video!
Dukes is the best southern mayonnaise for this.
Great video and recipe!! 😎👍
Dukes is a good mayonnaise! TFW God Bless!
Missouri state doesn't have Duke, that I know of. But a grocery store changed ownership and he said he would be able to get whatever I needed. I guess I will be finding out when I tell him about your Favorite name brand dressing. 😁👍 Thank You for your Delicious recipe 💞💐👏👏👏
Looks good can’t wait to make it, try it on white toast with lettuce and tomato, how about Miracle Whip what’s your thoughts on that
Hi Monti, Please, do not use a sweet mayo such as Miracle Whip. Use a regular mayonnaise for good pimento cheese. TFW God bless!!
I'm like you. I insist on having this in the fridge all summer long. You cant go wrong with a nice cold sandwich of pimiento cheese.
Hello Try To Cook This, thanks for watching. I love pimento cheese!
Miss perkins where is it on sale what store
Yum grilled pimento cheese sandwiches are the bomb.
Thanx for your video!
One of my favorite sandwiches., and I'm not even Southern. Great for canapés before dinner
You can't beat homemade pimento cheese. It's the best!!! TFW and commenting God Bless, Linda
I love it with fresh homegrown "maters"lol
It's good with pineapple too!
Oooh that does sound good !!!!
Olives?
looks great
I'm not from the south at all but I saw this on a commercial and wanted to try it. How is it supposed to taste? Right now mine is pretty cheesy. I don't really have a blend of other flavors in there. The ad said to add cayenne so how much spice should it have?
If you watched my video, it has nothing but cheese and mayonnaise, but what and how much you add depends on your tastes. If you want it spicy, add the cayenne. Here in the South, all you add is cheese and mayonnaise mixed well and you eat it on white bread. TFW and I hope this helps! God Bless, Linda
Thanks! I'll add my own touch to it
Don't forget to add the rinsed and drained pimentos or you won't have pimento cheese, lol!!
Absolutely pimento cheese you ain't living until you try this I'm country this what we do
hi, no ma'm no criticism here. I enjoyed your video and appreciate your response. I don't think anything is wrong with your recipe. it must have been something I did. keep making great videos. I enjoy them and they help us a lot.
The piminto cheese sandwiches are great linda.im from the south.
