Rachael's Pimento Cheese Sauce

Food & Fun - By on

This melted cheese sauce is Rach's riff on the southern specialty, which gets its name from the finely chopped bits of pimiento peppers studded throughout the addictive spread.

  • 1 teaspoon each dry mustard and hot paprika or chili powder

  • 8 ounces (about 2 cups) shredded yellow cheddar cheese or yellow Land O’ Lakes Easy Melt cheese
  • 1 (4-ounce) jar chopped pimiento, drained well
