My dad sent me this recipe from AL.com where it was featured in a special on the Masters (pimento cheese is the official sandwich of the Masters – points for the sandwich, not for the golf).
Spicy Pimento Cheese
Makes 3 cups (note: large amount, I only make half for a week of sandwiches)
Best if made the day before to allow the flavors to mingle
Ingredients:
2 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 (4-ounce) jar of diced pimentos, drained
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine the ingredients in a jar and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate overnight or at least for several hours before serving.
