I love and I mean LOVE Pimiento Cheese. I am going to preface this by saying that if you’re southern, do not judge me on this recipe. This is a quick and easy version that allows me to get my fix. I know there are more complex ways to make it. Don’t Judge Me! Ha Ha!
This cheese can be eaten as a dip, traditionally on white bread as a tea sandwich, on burgers, or any way you choose.
