This thread is not for the real cooks who post to the forum. I'm sure they already know about this.
This thread is for people (southerners like me) who love the made-from-scratch pimento cheese that granny used make but can't get it from any packaged version.
I've been trying to duplicate the taste of granny's pimento cheese for years.
I've used more cheese, less cheese, more pimento, less pimento, more mayo, less mayo but it just never tastes like what granny made.
A week ago I discovered how to make it taste like granny's pimento cheese.
I noticed in internet recipes that some were adding cream cheese to it.
So I tried it. And I bought whipped cream cheese because that's a lot softer and easier to mix with the shredded cheddar.
I have now made pimento cheese which tastes very much like granny used to do it.
Now if I could just learn how to make some of the other stuff granny made.
