Ingredients

• 8-ounce package cream cheese

• 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

• 8 ounces mild cheddar cheese, shredded

• ¼ cup pimentos

• pinch of salt and pepper

• 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)

 

Instructions

1. Cream together cheeses.

2. Stir in pimentos and salt and pepper.

3. If you prefer your pimento cheese to be a bit thinner for spreading, add in optional mayonnaise to preference.

Gramma Options

 

• This Gramma  omits the CREAM CHEESE
• Cheeses:  Mix the different cheeses or use two of the same CHEDDARS
• I ALWAYS use an entire  [medium] jar of chopped pimentos
• A Pinch of salt is fine; TASTE TEST to determine if  it seems to need ANOTHER PINCH
• BLACK PEPPER - by all means please tell me you use COARSE BLACK PEPPER- to showcase but not to be the star~

 

• LASTLY:  Please invite GARLIC to the party adding a DISCREET DASH.

 

REALLY LASTLY:  I prefer Real Mayonaise but Miracle Whip works too-  careful not to add too much just enough to give it a creamy texture/taste but if you really notice the mayonnaise/miracle whip....it's  too much. [You can always add more but you cannot take it out once it's mixed in.



 

 

One really, really last note: 

 Locally [the Troy, Alabama area] 

 There are two restaurants who make pimento cheese I will

order and recommend.

 

 

 

That's  Byrd Drug Store

on the

Troy

downtown square--

Also the  Chicken Salad Chick -

They are a wee bit different but both Yummy Good.

I occasionally

Stop by Byrd Drug Store

and grab a Pimento Cheese Sandwich to go-

In a brown bag w chips and enjoy it across the street

.. in the Park/Swing.
