Basic Pimento Cheese

Pimento Cheese....it's a real southern thing! And it seems like everyone has their own take on it, including me! Well, I mix it up sometimes, depending on my partakers. For instance Allie dislikes mayonnaise so when she is around, I make it with more cream cheese/sour cream than mayo. When Steve is around I make it spicier, adding jalapenos. When I make it the 'regular for Marci and Terry' way, here's the recipe! I wonder what you think about it. Let me know!

Basic Southern Pimento Cheese:
2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese ( this time I used one c. white sharp and one bag of already shredded cheddar)
2 heaping tablespoons of dill relish
3 tablespoons diced pimentos ( I use the jar type)
4 heaping tablespoons of mayo (see picture for my brands)
1-tsp. of pepper
1-tsp. Cavender's Greek all purpose seasoning (garlic salt works)

Mix. Taste, adjust to your liking!
Note: if you have always made pimento cheese with cream cheese, add a block! You cannot hurt anything by adding cream cheese. Nuff said!

If you want MY opinion, put this on white bread with a slice or two of tomato. YUM. If serving for a gathering, it's great on crackers or served in celery stalk slices.
