Who doesn’t love pimento cheese? Well, maybe folks who are not from the South. But us Southerners, we love us some pimento cheese and fried green tomatoes!
This recipe is so easy, and there are so many creative ways that you can change it up. You can make it spicy, tangy, or plain. I may be boring, but I like mine plain. My husband likes the spicy taste of jalepenos in his pimento cheese.
This recipe only takes about 10 minutes to make, and everybody loves it. It makes a great dip for crackers or vegetables, so you can serve it as an appetizer. But it also makes a great grilled cheese sandwich. And how about grilled pimento cheese and bacon sandwiches? What?! Yes! That’s what I’m talking about.
This recipe is so easy. All of the ingredients go into the bowl at the same time, then you just stir it up. That’s it!
You can serve it right away or refrigerate it for later. I think you will love this delicious recipe.
