Pimiento Cheddar Spread image

I was a theater major in college, and our director's mother always made sure we were well fed. I was particularly fond of her pimiento cheese sandwiches and tried making a similar spread for crackers. It tastes just as good as I remember! -Katrina Jameson, Brandon, Mississippi
