Homemade Pimento Cheese

Recipe courtesy of Mr. Harold Roberts, Jr. of Salisbury, N.C.

1 package (3 ounce) cream cheese
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons pimentos, smash with a fork
Dash salt
Dash Texas Pete
Dash cayenne pepper
Dash Worcestershire sauce

Add pressed pimentos to grated cheese. Mix in cream cheese. Add salt, Texas Pete, Worcestershire and cayenne pepper. Add mayonnaise and stir. If mixture is too stiff more mayonnaise can be added.

Put in airtight container and refrigerate. Best to let “set” over night (in refrigerator) before serving.
