People who say they hate pimento cheese love this recipe! but the key is, you have to get the top-quality ingredients. You can add some hot peppers, if desired.
10-oz. bar of yellow Cracker Barrel Sharp cheese
5-7 oz. of a 10-oz. bar of the white Cracker Barrel Sharp
12 oz. cream cheese (NOT low fat) that is softened
2 (4oz.) jars chopped pimentos (do not drain)
3 tablespoons of good mayonnaise (no salad dressing or cheap stuff or it will taste too sweet and mayonnaisy)
Start by grating the cheese. Don't buy the packages of grated cheese because they are the wrong consistency for this. Mix in the cream cheese, and then the pimentos. Add most of the liquid from the pimentos, but not necessarily all of it. You don't want the cheese mixture to be too watery. Then mix in just enough mayo to make it creamy -- about 3 T. but it seems to vary depending on the cheese. Chill, and serve on crackers, white bread that's cut into little sandwiches, or spread on a good hamburger. I like it spread on celery, too.
