Pimento and Cheese
Recipe By :JoAn Strickland
Categories : Sandwich and Snack Filling
Ingredients
1 4 ounce jar Diced pimento -- drained
1/2 cup Hellmann's lowfat mayonnaise
1/4 cup Carnation evaporated milk - more or less (Use reduced fat)
Grate cheese. Stir in pimento. Add mayonnaise and then enough evaporated milk to desired consistency for spreading. Mix well and spread on thin sliced bread for sandwiches or serve with crackers . Also good filling for celery sticks. Refrigerate leftovers. If refrigerated allow to come to room temperature for easier spreading. Will keep refrigerated for several days.
NOTES : I usually make several sandwiches and wrap or place in plastic bags to be served later as spreading is easier when freshly made. Sandwiches can be slightly toasted when served with soups or salads. Thin with additional milk to use as dip with veggies or crackers.
