Paula Deen’s Southern Pimento Cheese! This recipe is IT! Paula is southern and this is her version of pimento and cheese.
I recently prepared another version of this recipe that included cream cheese and spices. It tasted weird.
Paula’s recipe is exactly what I recall pimento (minner) cheese being.
I served this at a gathering along side of celery sticks and it was gobbled up in minutes.
