PIMIENTO CHEESE
This is the ultimate pimiento cheese recipe. What makes this pimiento cheese better than average? Besides not using cream cheese, which is something the southern-raised experts in our test kitchens felt strongly about, this recipe calls for beating the cheese mixture to make it smoother and more spreadable. According to them, it's hard to beat too long. Combine that technique with a little extra prep-grating your own cheese makes all the difference here-and a few non-traditional ingredients-soy sauce, pickled jalapeño peppers and Dijon really amp up the flavor. This pimiento cheese isn't just cheesy and creamy, it's also slightly spicy, deeply savory and a tiny bit tangy. With so much going on, this totally nontraditional, but absolutely irresistible take on pimiento cheese is a must try!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pimento cheese. Look for sharp cheddar cheese, fresh bell peppers, and smooth cream cheese.
- Don't overcook the bacon: You want it to be crispy, but not burnt. Cook it over medium heat until it's golden brown and then drain it on paper towels.
- Choose the right type of mayonnaise: For a classic pimento cheese, use Duke's mayonnaise. It has a tangy flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder.
- Chill the pimento cheese before serving: This will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread.
Conclusion:
Pimento cheese is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a dip with crackers or vegetables, used as a sandwich spread, or even cooked into dishes like macaroni and cheese. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, pimento cheese is sure to be a hit.
