Kid Friendly – Pimento Cheese Recipe

{Kid Friendly} Pimento Cheese Recipe

JDaniel and I decided to make our own version of pimento cheese this week. We are calling it the kid friendly version of a pimento cheese recipe . Here is why we made it. When we went to my mother in law’s last week, she had purchased pimento cheese for us to have on our sandwiches for lunch. I can honestly say I have never tried it before. JDaniel loves all things cheese so, he tried it. He decided it loved it and wanted it when it was offered as a choice at a cafe in my mom’s retirement community later in the week. JDaniel didn’t love it this time. He wasn’t interested in it at all. Yuck
! I believe is what he proclaimed. 
What was different in these two version of pimento cheese? The lady behind the counter at my mom’s retirement community mentioned that their version had a lot of onions and a little bit of hot sauce. Hot sauce is way too spicy for my bland eating boy. Onions are not a big favorite of this either.

Here is what we came up with:

Kid Friendly – Pimento Cheese Recipe

 

Ingredients


1/2 a jar of pimentos (drained)
1 package of neufchatel cheese (softened)
1 Tablespoon of mayonnaise
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 Tablespoon of dried onion

Directions:{Kid Friendly} Pimento Cheese Recipe

 

  1. Mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise and onions together.
  2. Add in the pimentos. Don’t worry if they are in long strips. They will break up into smaller pieces while your child is stirring the mixture.

  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese a little at a time.
  4. Serve immediately if you would like a thinner cheese spread. Refrigerate for an hour if you prefer a thicker spread.

  5. Spread the kid friendly pimento cheese onto whole grain bread or the bread of your choice.

Our version of pimento cheese was declared a success by both my husband and son. I love how easy it is to make.We will be making it again when we run out of the bowl of cheese we made.  This pimento cheese recipe is so simple and easy! We will be able to make it again and again.

This post is part of the Shrimp and Grits Blog Hop. Pimento cheese is very popular in this part of the South so I thought it would be perfect for this hop.

  2. Yum!! I love pimento cheese! It really is a great thing to make with kids!
    I don’t blame JDaniel! I don’t think I’d like hot pimento cheese either!! This version looks great, though!! –Lisa

  10. I have to be honest and say I have never liked pimento cheese, but it was always from a little plastic container at the supermarket. I have never tried making it at home before. This recipe looks like something my son and I would both like! Thank you for making me take a second look at this dish, and thank you so much for co-hosting the Shrimp N’ Grits Blog Hop!

  11. I love pimento cheese! I can’t wait to try this, it looks great!

  12. As a transplanted Southerner, this intrigues me … 🙂 I’ve enjoyed pimento cheese before, but am not always sure. I have heard that grilling it is amazing, as is using it in fun recipes, so maybe I’ll give it a go!
