I love pimento cheese so much and it is because of my Dad. He has perfected making it and I try all the time to make mine as close to his as possible. Even people who shy away from pimento cheese have grown to love his. Not only is this a cheap way to make an appetizer for a party that everyone will love, it keeps for at least a week so you can use leftovers for sandwiches and snacks throughout the week!
I served this at the wedding shower I hosted with just various crackers along side. You can serve with your favorite veggie, pretzel, pita bread, and basically anything else that goes with dips or cheese!
Dad’s Famous Pimento Cheese
1 (16oz.) block of EXTRA SHARP cheddar cheese *
1 small jar diced pimentos, drained
1 fresh jalapeño diced, seeds and stems removed
1/4 cup mayo**
Frank’s hot sauce to taste
*must use extra sharp!!! it’s the secret!
**may need more mayo as you go along! Just add more if it seems dry. You want more than you think!
Mix all ingredients and chill for at least an hour before serving!
Enjoy!
