Pimento Cheese (from Southern Living):
1 1/2 cup high quality mayonnaise (such as Duke's or Hellman's)
1 4-oz. jar diced pimento
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. finely grated onion
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 cup chopped pecans
1 8-oz. block extra-sharp cheddar cheese
1 8-oz. block sharp cheddar cheese
In a large bowl, combine first five ingredients.
Toast pecans at 350 on a cookie sheet for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Shred the cheese. (The actual recipe says to finely shred the extra-sharp cheese and coarsely shred the sharp cheese. I didn't do this - I shredded it all the same way in my food processor.)
Add the pecans and shredded cheeses to the mayo mixture.
