Wife was making this recipe for a bridal shower, and I love it so much I thought I would share:
-Block of Velveeta cheese (if you like it spicy, I believe Velveeta has a jalepeno offering which I've never tried but sounds like it'd be good)
-2 large jars of diced pimento (at our grocery, there are two jar sizes available.. the large is about 4oz)
-1/2 cup of mayonnaise
-5oz can of evaporated milk
-2tsp Vegetable Oil
-4-5 tsp sugar (depending on your liking)
Melt cheese, stir in pimento, then add the rest. Best if refrigerated overnight.
OK I have to weigh in on the great pimento cheese debate since I am sort of a chef at times.
I make a pimento cheese that is for use on sandwiches or in burgers in the middle of the burger. THis is my recipe after several trials and tribulations.
2 Boxes Kraft Velvetta Cheese
6 Jars of Pimentos
4 Cups of Sharp Cheddar Finely Shredded (not the coarse shred)
1/2 to 3/4 cup Miracle Whip
Pepper and Salt to taste
Cut the Velvetta into chunks and pulse in your food processor with about 1/2 jar of pimentos for each load of velvetta. You should end up with about half a jar of the pimentos remaining to be used just like they are from the jar. Before putting the pimentos in drain off some of the oil/water that the pimentos are packed in but do not dry them. After the velvetta is a small dice place into a large bowl. Do this with the rest of the velvetta and pimentos. Add the remaining drained pimentos and the cheddar into the bowl and add the miracle whip, salt, and pepper and mix with a large fork. This is a very easy pimento cheese and the one i like to fix during the summer since it is quick and easy.
