The Best Ever Pimiento Cheese Spread

Submitted by Juenessa

"This is a tart pimiento cheese because of the very sharp cheese plus the addition of the vinegar, and the lemon pepper. If you like tangy foods, then this is a very good recipe to try! We have never gone back to store bought pimiento cheese after this recipe. My aunt's mother-in-law invented this spread and we have been eating it for years."

Wow, what a tasty cheese spread. I made this for a snack for us last night while watching television and there was hardly any left over. It is tangy but we loved it. Even my kids enjoyed it but they love anything with a bit of a bite to it. I served it with some Ritz crackers and Triscuits. I will make this again!
