Pimento cheese is a southern staple, but no one can agree on what “the recipe” is.  So I decided not to agree too and make my own, one that fits my taste.   This one has a Stilton cheese to add a little funk. (Those with no sense of adventure can leave the Stilton out.) This is perfect for a New Years party or watching the Super Bowl.  For my Michigan friends sharp Pinconning cheese would be delicious.

8 oz sharp cheddar cheese grated

4 oz pimento

4 oz mayonnaise (they don’t use Miracle WhiP in the south)

4 oz cream cheese

4 oz white Stilton cheese, crumbled

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix all ingredients in bowl

Blend with a mixer for 3 minutes or until all ingredients are combined

refrigerate for 30 minutes

now you can use it  like this or …………….

place in a 350 oven in an oven safe dish for 15 minutes so it’s oowy gooey then serve with cracker or bread

serve as a grilled cheese or on crackers
