I think I have a little bit of split personality. I love the
weather in the North but LOVE the food of the South. One Southern tidbit that is one of my all time favorites – pimento cheese, a simple spread that can be
shaped into a ball for a party or on bread for the best grilled cheese you’ll ever have!

To make pimento cheese you’ll need:
1 8 ounce block of cream cheese, softened
¼ cup mayo
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 half jarred roasted red pepper, finely diced or
A small jar of pimentos
Garlic powder to taste
You can mix the ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon
but I like to mix mine in my stand mixer.

In a bowl (either using a wooden spoon or in the bowl of
your stand mixer) add the cream cheese and mayo. Mix until well combined. Add in the cheddar and combine completely. Add in the diced red peppers and the garlic
powder to taste. Be sure all the
ingredients are well combined. Can be
eaten right away or chilled in the fridge.

For an amazing grilled cheese sandwich, spread the pimento
cheese over bread that has been buttered on one side. Place the buttered side down in a hot pan and
cook until golden brown.

I’m sure there are a lot of uses for pimento cheese spread,
like maybe on potatoes for a new version of potatoes au gratin or maybe stuffed into a chicken breast. However you
decide to eat it be sure to make extra – it’s truly addicting!
