Pimento Cheese to the Rescue!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving y’all!!! If you’re still looking for a great sharable app for the Thanksgiving holiday or any holiday gathering this is post is for you. Pimento Cheese is a southern classic and ours is no exception! It has been on our menu since day one and now y’all can make it at home! I like to serve it like a dip with crackers and pickles, but it makes a mean grilled cheese or even Amanda’s favorite a BLT with pimento cheese on wheat bread.

Pimento Cheese

The Ingredients

1 ½ pounds cream cheese, softened

4 cups Shredded Cheddar and Jack Cheese

27 oz canned pepper relish (LeGout is the brand we use)

1 cup chicken stock

1.5 oz Worcestershire

1 oz Hot Sauce

1 oz chopped garlic

How it’s done

Step 1: Pull cream cheese out and let soften at room temperature.

Step 2: Combine last five ingredients in a large saucepan and reduce by one third.

Step 3: Whisk in cream cheese until smooth.

Step 4: Add the other cheese, again whisk until smooth.

Step 5: Cool down

Step 6: Serve with your favorite crackers and pickles

Pro Tip (From Amanda): Pimento Cheese, with Bacon, Lettuce & Fried Green Tomatoes is the best sandwich ever!

Cheers!
