BOBBY'S PIMENTO CHEESE
This is another recipe from Paula Deen's show on Food Network. I've tried both and both recipes are delicious and just a little bit different. It calls for her "House Seasoning" which I added to the recipe.

Courtesy of Paula Deen. I made this and took it to a family gathering and they gobbled it right up. They ate it on sandwiches, on crackers, with fritos and even as a topping on a grilled black bean burger.

PIMIENTO CHEESE-BACON BURGER
Steps:
- Whisk the mayonnaise, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Add the red peppers, white Cheddar and yellow Cheddar and gently fold until combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high for direct grilling. Divide the ground chuck into four equal portions, 6 ounces each. Form each portion into a 3/4-inch burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Brush both sides of the burgers with the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 4 minutes each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a dollop of the cheese mixture on top of each burger and close the grill lid. Cook until the cheese has just melted, about 1 minute.
- Place the burgers on the buns and top with the bacon, onions, tomatoes, pickles and lettuce if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baguette on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until the bread is just warm and toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the cream cheese and mayonnaise into a large mixing bowl and stir with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined. Add the Cheddar cheese. Mix until combined, then stir in the pimentos or bell peppers (add them last so they don't get too beat up). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook's Notes: Okay, so this recipe is pretty simple, right? And now you want to experiment and make it your own... Do you have a certain type of cheese you love? Feel free to substitute another type of cheese in for additional flavor. For example, substitute 2 ounces of blue cheese in for 2 ounces of the sharp white Cheddar cheese.
- Feel like adding a little kick to your pimento cheese? Substitute another pepper or flavor in for the 2 ounces of pimentos. For example, I've tried Asian chili garlic sauce, kimchi, banana peppers, jalapenos, or grated horseradish.
- To roast a red bell pepper, drizzle it with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 500 degrees F (260 degrees F) oven until the skin is charred, about 40 minutes, turning it halfway through to ensure even roasting. Remove it from the oven and immediately wrap the entire pepper in plastic wrap. Let it steam for 30 minutes. When it is cool to the touch, remove the skin with the back of a butter knife. Remove the stem, seeds and membrane. And that's all there is to it! It is a little more effort than buying jarred roasted peppers, but worth the work.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: A good pimento cheese starts with a good cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese that is well-aged. This will give your pimento cheese a rich, flavorful base.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your pimento cheese will be. Use fresh bell peppers, onions, and celery. If you can, use homemade mayonnaise. Avoid using store-bought mayonnaise, which can be bland and watery.
- Don't over-process the ingredients: Pimento cheese is best when the ingredients are chopped into small pieces. This will give the pimento cheese a creamy, smooth texture. If you over-process the ingredients, the pimento cheese will be grainy and dry.
- Let the pimento cheese chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pimento cheese to firm up. Serve the pimento cheese with crackers, vegetables, or bread.
Conclusion:
Pimento cheese is a classic Southern dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, flavorful texture and sharp cheddar cheese flavor, pimento cheese is a perfect appetizer, snack, or sandwich spread. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dish, give pimento cheese a try.
