A classic southern comfort food, this spread is used as an appetizer with crackers, corn chips or celery. It is also smeared between two slices of white bread for sandwiches and as a topping for hamburgers and hot dogs. —Eileen Balmer, South Bend, Indiana.

Why? Why? did you give this just 1 star when you haven't even tried it. This makes the overall rating lower because of people like you. Wow! If this was your recipe you would be saying the same thing. People, don't rate a recipe that you haven't even made. I made this recipe and it was great. You aught to do that yourself.

This is like the one my mama has used for years.  Except she just throws it all together and never measures!DELICIOUS!

I made up just 1/2 of this recipe for just the 2 of us.It’s everything Pimento cheese should be. Creamy, sharp and Tangy. It just needs ample chilling time. And more importantly a very Good Grade  of Cheddar cheese.Hand grated cheese only no cheating by using pre shredded it will not be The Real Thing.One recipe with so many uses other then a great sandwich.TOH-VFE

Fabulous base for trying new add-ins!!  Celery salt is BRILLIANT!!!!  Grated onion, little Pepper Jack, large jar of roasted red peppers, pimento stuffed teeny green olives....

Hold on to your socks! I made this and put it on Texas Toast and grill cheesed it.......wholly molly!

This recipe is so close to what my Dad made for years while I was growing up.  He and my Mom both worked full time so he helped with the cooking 50 years ago when Southern men just didn’t do that!  He often added my Mom’s homemade sweet pickle relish, just because we all loved it.

I love this spread.  My mother-in-law added some diced onion to it.  It goes great on sandwiches also.

I like it as is!  I didn't have crackers so I substituted Original flavor Bugles.  Either way it's awesome!

I looked all over for different pimiento spreads and this is absolutely the best - plain and simple and just delicious

I made this for our annual family Easter party with the following changes. I added 2 ounces of cream cheese, I used sharp Cheddar cheese and about 3/4 cup of cheddar Jack cheese, I put in 2 ounces of pimiento instead of 4 and added seasoned salt to taste. I served it with lavish bread style crackers.It was so good people asked for the recipe and I will be making this again.

Yummy!!! Spread on crackers topped with toasted, chopped pecans. I spread leftovers on bread, top with sliced ham and grill. So good!

One of my favorite spreads for crackers, sandwiches, even veggies. This is exactly how I've made it for years.

Great pimiento cheese spread!  I loved the simplicity of it.  Goes well with crackers as an appetizer or slathered on bread for a sandwich.  Super easy to put together, too!  I made it exactly as directed.  Simple and delicious!  I can see adding a dash or two of hot sauce for a little heat if you like.  Will definitely make again!
