Very tasty!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've never even tried pimento cheese before, but I saw Paula make this and it looked good. I used fresh garlic and pepper,... but did not add any additional salt, which I'm glad I did because I think the cheese has enough salt in it. I did not have any onion, so I left it out, but I think it would have made it even better.Read more

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
