Pimento Cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained
- 14 cup pecans, chopped
- 14-12 cup mayonnaise
- 14 teaspoon garlic powder
- 14 teaspoon dry mustard
- 14 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pinch sugar
- 14 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 14 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- Combine cheese, dry spices and sugar, tossing well so spices are thoroughly distributed throughout the cheese.
- Add in the drained pimientos, Worcestershire & Tabasco, mixing well.
- Begin adding in mayonnaise, starting with 1/4 cup.
- Mix well & continue adding until it is a stiff, chunky paste.
- Take 1/3 to 1/2 the mixture and process it in a food processor or blender until it is a smooth, creamy paste.
- Add the processed paste back in to the chunky paste and add in the pecans.
- Mix so the pastes and the pecans are well combined.
- Store in air-tight container in fridge.
- It is best if you let it sit overnight so the flavors can combine, but if you can't help yourself just go ahead and have some now.
