Love this recipe! I tweek it a little. Use shredded mild cheddar cheese, no celery, eggs, pimentos, nor pepper sauce. Add a packet of sweet and low. My husband loves this!!!

Easy to prepare and it was a BIG hit at the family reunion! I received many compliments on the pea dish. I followed the recipe exactly, well, minus the onions.

Quick and easy to prepare. I left out the pimentos because I didn't have any on hand, but still colorful and tasty.

Excellent. I had planned this as a side for leftover pot roast but it's so substantial that I might just save it tomorrows stand alone lunch. Not pimento's in this house either so I replaced them with some diced carrot for the color. The cheese I used was a good Gouda and I must say that it plays very nicely with everyone else in the bowl. This will be much enjoyed come summer as well as now. Made for Photo Tag,

This is very good and very simple to throw together. I left out the pimentos (didn't have any) and the hot pepper sauce (personal preference). Didn't measure the cheese, just sort of threw it in. :)
