MONA'S JALAPENO PIMENTO CHEESE

 


My family has always loved Ople's Pimento Cheese, and it is still a favorite of mine.  This one is slightly different and creamier, and the addition of jalapeños is a nice touch as well. Mona served it when we 4 YaYas spent a couple nights with her in "The Ville" (Halletsville to the rest of us!)  We chowed down on it, so I asked for the recipe.  When I made it the next week I served it with Fritos Scoops and canned jalapeno peppers I had cut in half and scooped out the innards.  Forgot to take a picture so this one is the next day on a slice of bread.  Both recipes are delicious.  You can't go wrong with either one.

6 pickled jalapeños, membranes and seeds removed then diced
1 lb American cheese, grated
1 lb Velveeta cheese, grated
1  - 8 oz block cream cheese grated
1 large jar pimentos
4 hard boiled eggs, finely grated
Helmann's Mayo
Salt and fresh cracked pepper

I have a grater attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer so I used it to grate all the cheeses quickly.  A food processor would work well too, and if not then just grate everything by hand.  Mix all together with enough mayo to mix easily.
