Mama Holli's Southern Pimento Cheese


In Texas we can get fancy and serve this up on special crackers at 
Baby and Wedding Showers,  or we just slap it on some bread while we
sit in the shade watching our kids yell "Mama, look at me!" for the 100th time
in the swimming pool, all while pretending that it really isn't
Hotter than H-E double hockey sticks!
Wherever you are when you consume this southern staple
you will be sure to enjoy it and your hot summer days will just melt away!
Also throwing a cold long neck in the picnic basket will help!


Pimento Cheese

4 ounces of cream cheese softened
1- 8oz bag of shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1- 8oz bag of shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
1- 4oz jar of pimentos drained and chopped
1 jalapeno finely chopped
1/4 Cup of Mayo
Black Pepper to taste
1/4 Cup of Pecan Pieces (optional)
1/4 Cup of chopped Cilantro (optional)

In a medium size bowl mix together cream cheese and mayo.
Add cheese, pimento and jalapeño and mix together until combined.
At this point you may add pecans and or cilantro if you wish.
Sprinkle with black pepper and give it a final toss around the bowl. 
Refrigerate covered for at least an hour before serving.
Serve it up on some yummy bread as a sandwich or as a dip with crackers or FRITOS!
Yes I said Fritos! 😆
