I have been looking for a good pimiento cheese recipe forever. Always just not quite right. Now I have it. Added 2 jalepenos to it and cut back just a touch on the vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar) because of the peppers being in vinegar. Absolutely perfect. Thanks BeachGirl. Now Mrs. Price will be loosing a customer for good. No more over priced stuff for me, and so much better.

Absolutely fabulous. I doubled and think it improves in flavor overnight. I like it chunky so did not run through food processor. Really nice since I can't get this in the store after moving from TX.

This pimento cheese is even better than my grandmother's! Thanks, BeachGirl. I made a batch as written the first time and loved it. The next time, I added about 1 1/2 teaspoons of chipotle puree (I keep a jar of this in my fridge...just take a can of chipotles in adobo sauce and puree it, and add a bit here and there to your recipes). Anyway, I think the chipotle was a great addition to this pimento cheese recipe! It gave it a nice bit of heat as well as a mild smoky flavor.

Fantastic!!!! I used the fancy shredded cheese for a finer texture and I couldn't be more pleased. This whips up in a jiffy and is absolutely addicting! We had it on crackers, cold on a sliced bagette and we also broiled a few. OK, to be honest we can't keep our hands away from it! Thanks Beachgirl! This is destined to become a staple in our household!
