Ingredients
- 1 pound Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
- 8 ounces Diced pimentos, drained
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 5 slices Thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grate your sharp cheddar cheese in a bowl.
- Add your 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.
- Sharp or mild cheddar: I prefer sharp cheddar cheese as that is how I was raised. Mild cheddar works just as well, though.
- Miracle Whip or Mayo: 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!
