Pimento cheese

Made pimento cheese for a gathering of friends tonight. I’ve always loved pimento cheese but this is the first time making it. So simple.

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (shred it yourself; it’s cheaper!)
  • 4 oz diced pimentos
  • 1-2 tsp mustard
  • salt and pepper
  • small amount of grated onion, to taste
  • a few or many dashes of hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayo (added a little at a time until you get to the desired texture)

Mix together and chill for at least 30 minutes. Eat with Ritz crackers. Or with bread. Or by the spoonful. I ain’t your boss.
