MAMA'S QUIK AND SIMPLE PIMENTO CHEESE SPREAD



Mama's Quik and Simple Pimento Cheese Spread image

Mama did not always feel like cooking right away; here was a little snack to hold us over. Easy to do, with few ingredients already in your fridge and cabinets. Best served with Ritz® crackers, but you can spread on your favorite slice of bread and make a sandwich, if you prefer. Refrigerate when finished.

MOM'S PIMENTO CHEESE

Posted in response to a request, this has to be the best pimento cheese ever, imho. My kids loved it growing up and if, when they visit, there is some in the frig... it's not there long. Great on a sandwich or crackers... or to stuff celery or use as a veggie dip. It never lasts long around here. (Amount is a guess-timate b/c I've never measured how much this recipe makes.)
