Living in Oklahoma, pimento cheese is a staple. We also have quite a few pecan trees. This is my favorite recipe. I do add 1 Tbl. worchestershire sauce and I toast the pecans in the oven at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes (until toasted) Good stuff! -
This is terrific! I never liked pimento cheese, either, but LOVE this recipe! Great on crackers as well as sandwiches. The garlic and pecans make this a standout! Thanks for posting.

I live in Arkansas. I do genealogy and work in fund raising for my church. I learned to cook when I was quite young. My mother could work faster than me in the fields, so she would send me to the hourse to cook. If I had a month off I would love to go to the Holy Land if it was safe.
