Ingredients
  

  • Dash of tabasco sauce
  • 2 oz jar pimentos
  • 8 oz block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • 1 tsp prepared mustard
  • 1 tsp W'ham Seasoning - Original Mild
  • 1/3 cup mayo Hellman's or Dukes
  • 16 oz cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Grate the cheddar cheese into a bowl. While you can use pre-grated cheese many have fillers and to achieve a creamier texture we like to grate our own.
  2. Drain and chopped the pimentos (reserving liquid)
  3. Blend together and chill. If you want a smoother spread you can add reserved pimento liquid until desired texture is achieved.
  4. Whether slathered on freshly baked biscuits, nestled between layers of a classic sandwich, or served alongside crisp celery sticks, this Southern delicacy embodies the spirit of hospitality that defines the South. Let the soulful charm of Pimento Cheese bring a touch of Southern comfort to your table.
