September Recipe Swap - Pimento Cheese

This is  new feature for the blog that I hope to share monthly. One of my favorite wedding shower gifts was from my friend, Heather, who had a recipe box engraved with my name. She then filled the box with recipes she had collected from every woman invited to the wedding. She had sent every single family 2 recipe cards asking them for up to two recipes they would be willing to pass down. Since then, I have added dozens more recipes that have become go to's that I would love to pass down.

My very full recipe box thanks to Heather.

Since it is football season and therefore the season for dips and shareables, I decided to kick off Recipe Swap with a great cheese dip my cousin, Amelia, gave me which was passed down from her mom. It is pimento cheese dip.

Pimentos are a type of red pepper and can easily be found in the grocery store if you know where to look. If you don't you may be searching for a while. Hint: It's near the canned and jarred peppers in the pickle aisle usually.

Quick and easy. Only a few ingredients needed.

Ingredients:
1lb Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
2/3 C Mayo
7oz Diced Pimentos, Drained (usually in a glass jar)
1 Tsp Smoked Spanish Paprika
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
Salt & Pepper to Taste

1. Break cheese down into cubes and grate in the food processor (easier than by hand).

Food processors make this so much easier!

2. Stir all ingredients but cheese in a large bowl.

Just need one mixing bowl to do it all.

3. Add grated cheese and stir all to mix.

Stir until cheese has a smoother texture.

4. Chill in Fridge.
5. Serve with crackers or pita chips.

ENJOY!
