Pimento cheese secrets

Costco jalapeño PC. I know that does not help. Also, one of the very few things I’ll eat that I know has mayo in it.

I make my mother’s-whom almost always had in the fridge. Basic. Shredded hoop cheese, jarred pimentos drained, salt, pepper, touch of cayenne and Blue Plate. That’s it.

My wife makes it with a block of white American that she shreds.

The Palmetto Cheese at Sam’s is a good store bought.

Never heard or seen an acid in it.

The gouda sounds pretty good. Maybe a brie too.

Thought with the vinegar was associating it with mayo. Not a crazy amount like bbq sauce, but a little touch to match the sharp tastes.

Bit of cream cheese, mustard powder and cayenne are game changers

If you want to have a heart attack, use bacon grease instead of mayo and put it on a burger.

I can't speak for the bacon grease, but pimento cheese on a burger is a delicious combo.

This is what spawned my interest. Made my first batch to top a sirloin burger tonight.

Went to heavy on cream cheese and to thin of a cheese shred.

Dill is your friend

I always chop a few homemade sweet pickle slices and add to the mix. If I'm out of pickles, I'll sub some Heinz sweet relish. I also use a lot of black pepper in mine.

I though this stuff was awful.

Sharp cheddar, pimentos, Duke's mayo, salt, pepper, cayenne, and a dash of tabasco
