Quick and Easy Pimento Cheese

I didn’t have colby cheese, so I used all mild cheddar. I made half the recipe: 2 cups shredded mild cheddar, 1 drained 7 oz jar of diced pimentos, 1 cup Hellman’s mayo (we don’t use Miracle Whip). I think I’ll add more shedded cheese, because the mixture is a little too wet.

Used all cheddar, but yum!

Very good, however, it did not had the cheese flavor I was wanting. I will cut the Colby cheese by half and increase cheddar cheese by same amount. I will used extra sharp cheddar.

Used all sharp cheddar, not colby. Use light mayo rather than miracle whip. Delicious!

A very easy and tasty recipe. My husband and father love it. We did use a 5 year aged super sharp cheddar instead of sharp. And it was Delicious. Will definitely go into my recipe box.

I add just a dash of garlic power or salt , gives it just a little extra flavor.

I’ve made this several times! It’s so easy and very good! I us mayo, and only cheddar cheese.

I’m on a quest lately to find the perfect homemade pimento spread since the stuff you buy in a tub has trans fat in it. I make a version of my own that usually has someone asking for the recipe but I wanted to try others. This one has lots of pimentos which I like but it calls for Miracle Whip and in most of the South, that’s sacrilege. We Southern cooks use real mayo…it makes a huge difference. I think, not to be stuck up but I am going to stick with my recipe and I think I’ll post it soon.

Pretty good. I used some cream cheese I had (about 2 oz) and added a little mayo to the Miracle Whip since I did not have enough of it. And, I added a little sugar and a sprinkle of garlic powder to better suit my tastes. Seems like it is missing something, but I checked other recipes, but they had nothing else in them.

This recipe is fantastic. I used just enough Miracle Whip light to moisten the cheese and used half of the cheese and one jar of pimentos. I was very surprised it tasted exactly like the ‘real stuff’!

Just made this, minus the pimentos, and it makes a tasty snack. Just a smidge on a multi-grain cracker along with a few olives or (my fave) sweet gherkins and you’re good to go. I’m thinking about adding some paprika to give it a kick and may try it in sandwich form on some toasted multi-grain bread with cold, sliced grilled chicken.

I did not care for this recipe. Disappointing. Even tried it without the miracle whip and used good mayo instead.

Made this with Sharp Cheddar only. Husband, who is a pimento cheese fan, said it was delicious. 😉

Loved it . Added a piece of low sodium bacon. Let it set over night. For the flavors to come together.

Very easy, taste and texture was perfect. I used 4 c of sharp cheddar (because it was all I had) and real mayonaise.

I use 8 oz. sharp cheddar, 4 oz. pimento and 1/3 cup regular mayo, plus pepper.

Used mayo instead. Also used cheddar and jalepeno pepper jack. Huge hit with my kids as well as my guest. Thanks for a simple and yummy recipe.

Great base recipe – i added a little cayenne, and found that i didnt need as much mayo as the recipe called for.

tastes terrible, but it could have been the Miracle whip. It seems store bought.

This require A LOT of pimentos. I would halve the pimentos used. Also, used only mild cheddar (hubby doesn’t like sharp). Definitely use again. Taste like the good old classic.

This is The recipe you’re looking for, if you’re trying to find what it was your grandmother used to make. Mayo or MW depending upon your preference. I agree, half the pimentos. Perfect!
