My hubby was raised in what he considers the south. Oklahoma and Texas has a unique type of food and if you have been raised there or in the southern states, Pimento Cheese is almost a food group unto itself. I had never had the experience of eating this until many years after marrying my husband. Hubby and his mom thought I was nuts for 1). not ever hearing about it and 2). not ever trying it. While I do enjoy it occasionally, what I enjoy more is eating it on a burger. Hot off the grill, the cheese gets all melty and delicious. It is a taste sensation.

So you those of you that have been deprived like I was, here is the recipe we use for Pimento Cheese. You can enjoy it on sandwiches, with crackers (Ritz is my fave) or on top of a burger too.

Pimento Cheese Burger Recipe

Small box of Velvetta Cheese – grated
8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese – grated
1 Jar of diced pimentos with juice
3 Tbsp Mayo
1 Tsp yellow Mustard
3 tbsp Sour Cream

Directions: Grate your Velvetta cheese into a small bowl. Add the sharp cheddar and pimentos and stir. Mix in the mayo, mustard, and sour cream. I do it a bit at a time to get the consistency I want. Creamy. Refrigerate a few hours so everything comes together.

This was my burger without the bun, but definitely dress it up however you want! Enjoy!
