Ingredients
- 1 pound Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
- 8 ounces, weight Pimentos, Diced
- ½ cups Mayonnaise
- 5 slices Thick Cut Bacon, Cooked And Crumbled
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
Preparation
Grate sharp cheddar cheese in a bowl. Add diced pimentos, mayonnaise and crumbled bacon. Mix well. Add more mayo to achieve the consistency you like. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with sliced vegetables, as a sandwich spread, or with pork rinds!
Notes:
• Grate your own cheese. I much prefer grating my own cheese for this recipe as pre-grated cheeses have a starch coating and it changes the texture of the pimento cheese.
• I prefer sharp cheddar cheese as that is how I was raised. Mild cheddar works just as well, though.
• I was raised with Miracle Whip in my pimento cheese but that is not something that I keep in my house now. I much prefer mayo now. Either works!
