I didn't use so much mayo. I like a little drier pimento cheese. Also left out sugar and used a little stevia instead. I could not imagine adding sweet to pimento chese, but tried it. Resulting product, in one word, YUM!!! Used it for a grilled pimento sandwich. Extra good sandwich! Adding the bacon is a great touch.This recipe is definitely a keeper.
