Pimiento cheese has been one of my ultimate favorites for years! It is super easy to make using just a couple of simple ingredients. I love to serve this delicious Southern Pamineto cheese crackers and vegetables or in sandwiches.

This Southern Pamineto cheese is a popular dip all over the world! Creamy, cheesy, peppery, and tangy with an impressive spreadable texture. I also like mine with a little spice. I think this pimiento cheese is way better with a bit of kick!

Pimiento cheese is a favorite at home. I cannot remember how many times I’ve made this. It is a Southern classic that is loved by millions!

To make this Southern Pimiento Cheese, all you need are a few simple ingredients that you might already have on hand. For best results, I recommend avoiding strange preservatives. So the flavor shines, I always use a variety of extra-sharp cheese. I grate the cheese and I DO NOT buy pre-shredded cheese. And for irresistible savoriness, I use a combination of garlic powder and onion powder. If you also like your Pimiento with a bit of kick, you can include cayenne peppers, too.

INGREDIENTS

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 c. mayonnaise

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp Old Bay seasoning

2 c. sharp cheddar cheese, grated

2 tsp yellow onion, grated

1/4 tsp paprika

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 ounces jar pimentos, drained, 1 tbsp juice reserved

How to make Southern Pimento Cheese

Step 1: Place the mayonnaise, cream cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and Old Bay in a medium bowl. Mix well until blended and smooth.

Step 2: To the bowl, add the pimentos and reserved juice, onion, and cheddar cheese. Stir and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Place in the fridge until cold.

Step 4: Serve the Southern Pimento Cheese as a dip with celery and crackers. You can also spread this on burgers and sandwiches. Enjoy!
