Pimento Cheese Spread
Pimento Cheese Spread I
Ingredients
2 lbs. Velveeta, cut in 1 1/2 inch cubes
3/4's of a Qt. of Miracle Whip
2-3 pkts. of Splenda
black pepper
2 jars Dromedary sliced pimentos (the larger 1/2 cup size)
can use chopped pickles or pickle relish (optional)
Directions
Beat with an electric mixer till it reaches the correct consistency (to me that's between small curds and smooth).
You might like to use less Miracle Whip. I like mine creamy, where it spreads good.
Good for sandwich spread, or as a dip for fresh veggies, or served with fancy breads and crackers.

Everyone loves this and is easy to make. Keeps in refrigerator for several weeks. I love pimento cheese and peanut butter sandwiches. Can be served with snack crackers also.

- 1 large jar pimentos, drained
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt, optional
- 3/4 cup salad dressing (Miracle Whip)
Directions:
Melt cheese in double boiler or in the microwave on very low setting. Check frequently so it doesn't scorch. When melted, remove from heat and add other ingredients. Mix together well with hand mixer. Cover and store in refrigerator for several hours before serving. Keep refrigerated.
