Southern Pimento Cheese Recipe Has a Secret Ingredient for Extra Creaminess (3 Ingredients) High Protein Recipes Southern Recipes Appetizers Snacks Gluten-free Vegetarian Low Sugar Recipes Lunch

Pimento cheese is a classic southern recipe. Many pimento cheese recipes are made with grated cheddar cheese, but this one uses soft processed cheese, which creates a creamier pimento cheese that can be used as a dip, spread or sandwich filling. It's a bit different than some homemade pimento cheese spreads, but we think you'll love it.
