Amazing Pimiento Cheese

This recipe for pimiento cheese is the absolute BOMB!  If you are a Southerner at heart, you won't find anything better!

Cat's Pimiento Cheese

1 c. grated cheddar (I use mild)

1 c. Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 c. mayo

salt, pepper, garlic (I use 1/2 t. combined total)

3T pimientos

1 t. grated onion

cracked black pepper

Mix everything together and plop on the top of crackers or spread on a sandwich.  If you're a true Southerner, cut off the crusts!  

Notes:

• The original recipe also calls for 1 3oz package cream cheese (room temperature).  I leave that out.
• I like the fine cheddar (the thin pieces rather than thick) which changes the texture a bit.
