Good Old-Fashion Southern Pimento Cheese
From clbacon 18 years ago
- - to make
- Serves 1
Pimento cheese is a staple around the South for sandwiches, stuffed celery, and as a snack on crackers.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of medium sharp cheddar cheese, grated - do it yourself and do not use the pre-grated cheese shopping list
- 6 ounce jar of diced pimentoes with juice (but pick out the seeds) shopping list
- Mayo - about 3 heaping tablespoons shopping list
- black pepper, to taste shopping list
- celery seed, 1/4 teaspoon shopping list
- Dash of hot sauce shopping list
How to make it
- Grate the cheddar into a large sturdy dish with low sides (so you can easily do the mashing and mixing);
- Dump the contents of the jar of pimentoes on top of the grated cheese;
- Using a fork, mash the two ingredients together until very well mixed;
- Add mayo and mix (add more if it seems dry);
- Add seasonings - black pepper, celery seed, hot sauce and mix some more;
- When everything is mixed, transfer to a storage container with a tight lid; it'll keep in the fridge for a couple of days;
- Now you're ready to stuff lengths of celery as an appetizer, or use as a spread for crackers, or use to make a sandwich!
