Pimento Cheese

We love pimento cheese, and this recipe is so easy to make.  I like mine just plain and simple but you can add 1/2 - 1 block of softened cream cheese to your pimento cheese.  I also do not use packaged shredded cheese because it contains more than just cheese.  I shred my own cheese which does have allow the  pimento cheese mixture to come together better.  This will keep in the refrigerator for a week or so, if it lasts that long. 

Ingredients:

2 - 8 oz blocks of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Small jar of pimentos
About 1 cup of mayonnaise (start with a little less and add more to get the consistency you like)
A few dashes of hot sauce (can add more if you like it a little more of a kick)

Directions:

Shred cheese, place in a large bowl.  Add the jar of pimentos, juice and all, the mayonnaise and the hot sauce.  Mix well.  Add mayonnaise and hot sauce to match your taste.  This is best if you can let the flavors all mesh together for 4 - 6 hours.
