Michael’s Southern Style Pimento Cheese

It is a southern staple, a delicacy that has to be done just right if it is going to be done at all.  It is pimento cheese and now you have my personal recipe.

1 2 ounce jar of pimentos, drained

8 ounces low fat extra sharp cheddar cheese, either shredded or chopped

1 teaspoon sugar or sugar substitute

1/2 cup lite mayo

1/4 cup Vidalia onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1.  Mix pimentos and cheese together in a mixing bowl.

2.  Add sugar and mayo and mix again.

3.  Add onion and Worcestershire sauce and blend with a mixer at high speed, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure a thorough mix.

4.  Cover and chill in the refrigerator for no less than two hours, then serve your delicious homemade pimento cheese on a sandwich or atop crackers.

if you make it as listed (with reduced fat or lite cheese and mayo), this tasty treat can have as few as 60 calories per 2 tablespoon serving and it is much less expensive than buying the pre-made version at the supermarket!
