ODIE'S PIMENTO CHEESE SPREAD



Odie's Pimento Cheese Spread image

When I was growing up, we used to visit my Grandparents, Odie and Grandpa, every summer in Bristol, VA. She made this wonderful pimento cheese spread. In those days before food processors, she used a meat grinder. Which is how I'm posting this recipe. I process this the same way using my Kitchenaid w/ attachments or sometimes I just give the cheese and pimentos a few zaps in the processor. This makes lovely tea sandwiches using whole wheat or white bread with the crusts removed and cut in quarters. This also freezes well.
