Follow The Directions

01

Step

Using the smallest holes of a box grater, grate half the Cheddar cheese. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Grate the remaining Cheddar cheese on the next larger size holes. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Stir together the Cheddar cheese, chives, roasted red pepper, cream cheese, pickle juice, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, and black pepper in a bowl until evenly combined. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try using a blend of sharp and extra-sharp cheddar cheese.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use a food processor to combine the ingredients.
The pimento cheese can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavor will continue to develop over time.

    I used smoked gouda instead of cheddar, and it was delicious!

    The dill pickle juice is the secret ingredient! It adds the perfect amount of tang.
