Southern Pimento Cheese

With ample seasonings and just a little kick, creamy Southern pimento cheese is great with everything from crackers or burgers to crab cakes or grits! This cheddar cheese spread also makes a great cold party appetizer dip that doesn't require the oven.

Ingredients

1. 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2. 4 oz jar of pimentos drained
3. 4 oz cream cheese softened
4. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
5. 1/4 tsp garlic powder
6. 1/4 tsp onion powder
7. 1/4 tsp paprika
8. 1/2 tsp pepper blend (I use Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Pepper)
9. 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
10. 1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning

Instructions
Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Notes
Serve with crackers, mixed into grits, on a grilled cheese sandwich, on a BLT, with fried green tomatoes, over crab cakes, or as a hamburger topping.
