  • Pimento cheese is a beloved recipe of the American south, a creamy mixture of cheddar cheese, diced pimento peppers, and mayonnaise with a few other flavoring ingredients tossed in. It’s iconic, dubbed the “pate of the south”, found in southern kitchens everywhere, ubiquitous on southern menus but so much better when homemade! Let’s talk about how to make classic pimento cheese!

    It might be a southern staple, but it can be enjoyed anywhere! How do you use pimento cheese?

      I just watched this video again 😊 and I can imagine how delicious it would be with green tomatoes, fried or otherwise. Any veggies would do, ie celery, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. That traditional ritz cracker looks just fine too.
      ps: Did you ever think of small batching some of your 🔥hot🔥 sauces? 🤔Food for thought 😊👍

    Looks great Mike. I’ve been making my own pimento cheese since I was a teenager. And of course, I add some diced jalapeños to mine. 👍

    I wanted to see how close my recipe was to something authentic. Of all the videos that popped up, I watched yours. I do add cream cheese to mine (a brick to about 16oz - 20 oz of shredded sharp cheddar). Also, I sub Miracle Whip for the mayo (1 cup), and add two diced jalapenos and two diced habaneros, as well as about three cloves of pressed garlic. No pimentos, though (I know: heresy!!!) Pro Tip: It has to rest overnight for the flavors to marry. I serve with Trisquit crackers. I'll be making some of this soon and I think I will also try adding some chipotle powder to it (probably a teaspoon to start).

    I made this but used all white shredded cheddar cause I can't stand "yellow " cheddar with the coloring to make it yellow. Changes the taste and I still don't understand why some people want to use yellow cheddar and put more chemicals into your body? But what I made was delicious and I'll be making it again with all white cheddar, oh and my homemade Avocado oil mayonnaise! Yummo!!😂
