Pimento Cheese

One of the favorite things to do here in Savannah is go have a picnic in the park

Well, that's what today's theme is about. It's about picnics, so I'm going to show you a few things that work so well for taking food off to eat on the ground

and also for tailgates. The first thing I'm going to start with is a pimento cheese, and this is so good, so simple

It works great as a dip or a sandwich. So no Southern picnic is the same without a pimento cheese

Now I've started with sharp grated cheddar. I've got some white cheddar

And I'm going to add those two together. And I'm going to add pepper. I really, really like what the pepper does to the pimento cheese

I'm going to add a good bit of this. All right. Now I'm going to add a little salt

And I'm not going to add a whole bunch because I'm fixing to add some diced pimentas along with the juice

and these have a lot of salt in them, so you want to make sure that you don't over-salt your pimento and cheese

And now my favorite binder in the whole world is a half cup of mayonnaise

I'm just going to mix this up, but this is so good

All right, I'm just going to pile this up. And you can see that I've got scoopable corn chips

that are just divine dipped down in this pimento cheese. And then I've got white bread for those that want to make a sandwich

I just love it this way. You can eat it with a cracker, but the corn chips are just perfect for it
