Pimento Cheese recipe that&#39;s a classic Southern favorite, made with extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, and cayenne pepper.

Pimento Cheese

jar diced pimentos, drained

black pepper (optional)

Grate cheese into large bowl using small side of grater or food processor.

Drain pimentos and add to cheese.

Sprinkle the cayenne (start with 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon and taste after mixing) and black pepper over the cheese.

Stir in 1/2 cup of mayonnaise. You may decide to add an additional 1/4-1/2 cup depending on how creamy you like it. Mix well and taste.

Add more mayo, cayenne, and a little salt if needed--usually don't need salt as cheese is salty.

It’s me again…I use my grandmother’s old cast iron hand crank food grinder. One to grate the cheese, and again to thoroughly blend before adding the mayonnaise.
I know it is old fashioned and a bit of work, but it reminds me of wonderful days in my grandmother’s kitchen many years ago

I love homemade pimento cheese. My recipe is similar, but I add a small can of chopped green chiles and 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish. Some of our family are diabetic, so I use no sugar pickle relish made with Splenda.

This is my first time making Pimento Cheese and it turned out delicious!
This recipe is so simple. Thank you.

My go to recipe! I always make some when my Grandson-in-law comes for dinner. He does love it. Just for him I add in diced fresh jalenops.He loves it. I must say it does taste rather nice. But for most part you just have to use this recipe for the best pimento cheese. Love your recipes.I'm a displaced southern gal in Texas and love my southern cooking.

Not having made pimento cheese for a long while, I was sure I must have made a recipe card, but evidently I always just made it and never wrote it down. At 70, I seldom cook unless it's something I can't get made properly anywhere else, and if you look for them there are some pretty decent pimento cheese places around. I couldn't remember my pimento-to-cheese ratio and was so shocked when I went online and couldn't find the delicious, basic, unadulterated pimento cheese recipe. I've already been disgusted while eating out at the addition of onion, but now I know the addition of cream cheese is what has been wrong with those thick, tasteless ones, I kept being served. Not for me. Thank-you again for helping me with my recipe. (By the way, though it wouldn't work well in large batches, I like it better when the cheese, Duke's, pimento, and pepper(s) are tossed together with a fork rather than thickened in a blender.) Yum!
