I always take this with me when I am going to different friends houses for the afternoon to visit or when I plan to drop in to see my mom or something. Everyone always gets a kick out of this cheese spread. My favorite is to dip veggies in it, just because there is enough cheese and other flavors in the spread to load you up on calories without adding in any extra. My mom likes hers with pita though and I’ve even seen people spread it on bread. So, it’s fine to eat in whatever way you like the most! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Pioneer Woman:
“Anything that cheesy has to be delicious!”
There are a lot of cheese in here for sure, and it is super yummy!
Ingredients
4 ounces, weight Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Softened
1/2 cup Hellmann’s Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard (more To Taste)
1 Tablespoon Adobo Sauce From Canned Chipotles (more To Taste)
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Grated
8 ounces, weight Sargento Monterey Jack Or Mozzarella Cheese, Grated
4 ounces, weight Sliced Pimentos, Drained
2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Dill
Instructions
Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon, adobo, and black pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix it until totally combined (if you have a few lumps from the cream cheese, no problem; you won’t see them later!)
Add the cheddar and Monterey jack and mix gently until combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl and make sure all the ingredients are mixed together. Stir in the pimentos and dill. Taste and mix in more of whatever you think it needs. Add more cheese if you like the pimento cheese to be less creamy; add less if you like it to be more creamy.
Refrigerate pimento cheese for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serve with crackers, small hollowed-out peppers, carrot and celery sticks, and olives. (Or make small sandwiches or even a grilled cheese with it!)
