I hate the mushy store bought style of pimento cheese. I prefer it a little drier than the traditional one so I came up with this. You can add more mayo to moisten if you want. This recipe should have texture so don't over mix everything. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. We like this spicy and usually add more heat.

Ingredients

16 serv.

ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (not the fancy or finely shredded)16 ounces
tablespoons chopped red onions2 tablespoons
tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro3 tablespoons
teaspoon cumin↗1⁄2 teaspoon
teaspoon chili powder (mild or hot to taste)↗1 -2 teaspoon
tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeno1 tablespoon
ounces pimientos, drained↗4 ounces
cup mayonnaise (Hellman's)↗1⁄2 cup
salt and pepper (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

1
Combine first 7 ingredients. Stir in mayo until combined. Taste and add salt / pepper if necessary. I find the cheese and spices usually do not need additional salt.
2
If you can find it, use chipotle chile powder - it give the dip a wonderful smoky taste.
