Pimento cheese is a classic Southern cheese spread made with simple ingredients that, when combined, is hard to resist. If you can't find pimento you can substitute roasted red peppers. This recipe is heavy on the cream cheese which makes the dip extra creamy, but you can easily customize the amounts to suit your own tastes.

Pimento Cheese Dip

sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

cream cheese,

mayonnaise

pimento

salt

Place half of the shredded cheese in a food processor. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, peppers, and salt. Process until combined and smooth.

Transfer the mixture  to a bowl, add the rest of the shredded cheese, and stir to combine. Cover the bowl and chill the pimento cheese for at least an hour or so to allow the flavors to develop.

I add a tsp of Hablanero or Tobasco Sauce. I also add a heaping T of dehydrated red and green bell peppers. I use a whisk to blend cheese , cream cheese and mayo as to not make it a creamy texture.

I also omit the salt since Tobasco has salt.

I turned it into a 5 star as soon as I replaced the Hellman's with Duke's

I made this for a Southern Bell Birthday luncheon, and everyone loved it.  I just added a little Cayenne to it. Thanks for sharing! 
Wish I could post a photo, but not sure how :)
