Jim Early took first place out of 300 entries in the Southern Foodways Alliance Pimiento Cheese Invitational by creating this update of his mother's recipe. If you need a smaller amount, you can easily cut the recipe in half. Ingredients:
2 (8-oz.) blocks extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 (8-oz.) block mild cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened |
2 (7-oz.) jars diced pimiento, drained |
1 (12-oz.) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained |
1/2 cup drained pickled jalapeño pepper slices |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
assorted crackers or bread slices |
Directions:
1. Process first 3 ingredients, in batches, in a food processor 45 seconds or until well blended. Add pimiento and next 4 ingredients, and pulse 5 to 6 times or to desired consistency. Cover and chill up to 1 day. Serve with crackers or bread slices.
