Ok, let me first start off by saying that I don't like pimento cheese. Really, I don't. That stuff you buy in the plastic tub in the store? Ick. I'd rather go hungry. However, after having dinner at my friend Lisa's house this past week, I've been converted. Not completely, mind you, but I will eat (and enjoy) THIS recipe:
1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
1 cup grated Monterey Jack
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 to 3 tablespoons pimentos, smashed
1 teaspoon grated onion, optional
Cracked black pepper
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add all of the remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. (We like it on toast or with pita chips)
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. (You will have a lot of this left over, but Lisa assures me that many of Paula Deen's recipes call for it.)
Enjoy!
