Lunch: Our Favorite Pimiento Cheese

This top-rated pimiento cheese is great to serve as a dip for to use for a sandwich filling. Stirring in chopped pecans adds great flavor and texture. You can make this crowd-pleasing cheese spread in minutes--but every step counts, so no fudging!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's or Duke's
1 (4-oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon finely grated onion
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (8-oz.) block extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (8-oz.) block sharp Cheddar cheese
Celery sticks and assorted crackers

Instructions

Make the mayo mixture. In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, diced pimiento, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, and ground red pepper until blended.
Toast the pecans. Toasting brings out the rich flavor of the nuts. Preheat your oven to 350 °. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. (Stirring helps to ensure even browning.)
