Secret Southern Pimento Cheese Recipe

Secret & Southern. Both qualities you’d expect in a dish made in your own kitchen. Tangy, creamy, yet balanced by that unmistakeable bite of cheddar, this Secret Southern Pimento Cheese will put a smile on your face and a serious dent in your appetite! My ‘Maw’ shared this recipe with me back when I was a kid and although I’ve made pimento cheese a ton of different ways over the years I always come back to this original.

I picked up Harris Teeter’s Shredded Cheese last week and was just waiting for the right time to make this.

Only 3 Ingredients

1 Bag Shredded Cheese (I prefer the Wisconsin Cheddar or Sharp Cheddar Harris Teeter Brands!)
1 cup Duke’s Mayonnaise (ok it doesn’t have to be Duke’s but really it does make the dish!)
2 oz of Pimentos, strained
*Salt and Pepper to taste if you’d like

All you need to do is put your ingredients in a bowl and mix them together. Serve on toast, bread, crackers, on a spoon, however you like! It really is best if it sits overnight.

Everyone is gonna want to know what store you bought it from. You don’t have to tell; It’s your little secret.

Secret, Southern….Perfect.
