Southern Pimento Cheese




Source of Recipe


Recipe adapted from Melissa's Southern Style Kitchen.


Recipe Introduction


It’s great on crackers or celery or chips, but I think this really shines when used as spread on a sandwich or burger. It just adds so much flavor! And it only takes a couple of minutes to mix up, which is always good news.
