Homemade pimento cheese spread is a classic Southern dish. It is best when made with freshly grated cheddar cheese, real mayonnaise, and diced pimentos. For this recipe, Kraft Mayonaisse is my go-to.
Pimento Cheese, or as we called it when I grew up, "Pimento and Cheese," can be used to make sandwiches, as a dip for crackers or vegetables, or even, trending now, as a topping for burgers.
My Mom loved her Pimento and Cheese. Sometimes she bought it premade from the grocery store but she also made it at home and this recipe is very similar to Mom's.
I like to grate medium or sometimes sharp cheddar cheese for my spread. The pre-shredded packaged kind contains cellulose and the flavor is just not the same.
I treated myself to a Kitchenaid Mixer last year and later bought an attachment for it. The attachment shreds cheese, veggies, and other things. It's awesome!
Homemade Pimento Cheese Spread
Pimento Cheese is easy to make even when shredding the cheese yourself and it's the perfect dish for parties, picnics, or holiday gatherings. Spice it up any way you like. I add Tabasco sauce to mine and sometimes Tony Chachere Cajun Seasoning or Seasoned Salt.
