What southern cook doesn't have a good ol' pimento cheese spread recipe? We all claim ours is the best!
The type we like is chunky and freshly grated. I shared a lightened up version last week, and now I want to give you my favorite traditional way of making it. You can vary up the ingredients as you see fit, but this is our ultimate formula that we oh so very much love.
