The Best Pimento Cheese Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I absolutely love this recipe. It's so easy and tasty, keeps well, and is flexible too. I use the jack and cheddar if I... have both, but have made it with co-jack and just cheddar. I don't add the house seasoning because that makes it much too salty for my husband and me, but I do sprinkle in some crushed red pepper for an extra zing. Thanks for the recipe.Read more

I used 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream then added 1/2 of a minced jalapeno. VERY good. Thank you Paula!

Yummy as low fat
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I trimmed the recipe down in calories and fat by using fat free cream cheese, fat free mayo, fat free cheddar cheese and a... reduced fat mozzarella cheese. I used the pimentos, house seasoning and onion as directed. It is delicious and guilt free!Read more

Another winner
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for the NFL playoff games on friday and let it sit overnight. What a treat! Best pimento cheese I have ever... tasted. I did use monterey jack with jalapeno's instead of the plain monterey jack and it added such a punch to it. I also did not use the house seasoning, just salt and pepper to taste and a touch of cayene. This will defiately be a staple in my refrigerator at all times. Thanks Bobby! Can't wait to try it on a good, thick, juicy burger!Read more
