Pimento Cheese
Pimento Cheese has become known as a Southern Classic, sometimes lovingly referred to as "Southern Paté. It is wonderful as a sandwich spread, but is equally as good with crudités and on burgers. This recipe is plain and classic, but feel free to add some red pepper to spice it up!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces white cheddar cheese grated
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened

- 2 ounces peppadew peppers, diced Use the spicy ones if you like!
- 2 ounces pimento peppers, diced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic

Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix it using the paddle attachment, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
