I have to ask as I am such a HUGE cheese lover. How do you make pimento cheese? Please tell!!

Amelia, I am a huge cheese lover as well.  I mix my spread in a food processor, but a regular mixer will do.  Pimentos are roasted red peppers so you might not be able to find them if you live out of the South.


  • Two large packages of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  • One large jar of diced pimentos drained of their liquid. 
  • Blueplate mayonnaise added until you get your desired consistency.
  • One pinch of salt and pepper.
  • One tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

I always add some grated onion to mine. Pimentos are easy to find in the grocery in a jar, even out here in the far western sticks. We love pimento cheese too and also love it slightly melted on toast or biscuits or rye bread. Yum.

I found a new brand in SC called Palmetto Cheese and it's fabulous. They have started selling it here in northern VA in some of the grocery stores. It has a kick to it, maybe some hot sauce and I think it has some cream cheese in it too. Yum.

I bet that would be good with sundried tomatoes as well!!

Andrew, I've added chopped stuffed green olives to Helen's recipe and it's delicious. AND I've also added a little horseradish.
