Football season is coming!
Football season is just around the corner! This would be a great crowd pleaser for a group at a tailgate or a football party. You can make this even lighter by using reduced fat cheese and serving with celery sticks. You can always make pimento cheese with pre-shredded cheese and canned pimentos, but I really enjoyed the taste of freshness by doing it this way. My next step is to make my own homemade mayonnaise. So it will all be as fresh as I can make it (I don't plan on making my own cheese anything soon).
Ingredients
1 red bell pepper (seeded & cut in large chunks)
2lb block of cheddar cheese (hand shredded)
1/2 cup lite mayo
1-2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp paprika
salt to taste
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
Preparation
Step 1
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, char both sides of each piece of bell pepper. Add enough water to make the bell pepper float and bring to a boil. Cook until the pieces become tender. Remove the pepper from the pan and allow to cool.
Step 2
Shred the cheddar and add to a large bowl. Add the mayo, Dijon, paprika, salt and cayenne to the bowl.
Step 3
Chop all of the bell pepper pieces and add to the bowl. Stir all ingredients until all is well combined. Chill in the fridge. Serve cold with celery!
