Pimento cheese is a classic Southern dip made of cheddar cheese, pimento peppers, and mayonnaise. The basic recipe includes shredded Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and pimentos blended to either a smooth or chunky paste. However, there are variations of pimento cheese that include additional ingredients such as cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, and even pickles. Here are the ingredients needed to make pimento cheese:

• Shredded Cheddar cheese
• Mayonnaise
• Pimentos

Some recipes also include the following ingredients:

• Cream cheese
• Worcestershire sauce
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Cayenne pepper

To make pimento cheese, the ingredients are combined together.
