Grandpa Kline's Poppycock {Not Your Average Caramel Corn}

Pimento cheese spread. It’s a Southern thing. Tailgates, showers, receptions, luncheons. This tasty spread brings a little color to the table.  In our family, pimento cheese is a staple item on the fall tailgating menu. Everyone has their own recipe and secret combination of ingredients. We like to keep it simple! 

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2-3/4 cups Mayonnaise  (I prefer Hellman’s light; Rachael prefers Dukes' regular. Use your preferred brand.)
• 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Cayenne Pepper to taste  (We are of the personal opinion that this is the key ingredient in our spread and use 1/8-1/4 teaspoon depending on who is "taste-testing" that day.

Directions:

1. Combine cheese and mayonnaise, using enough mayonnaise to make a good spreading consistency. 
2. Add Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper. 

Serve cold on fresh, white bread, or a healthier bread like whole wheat; for a special treat, grill the sandwich. Delicious with  crackers, melba toast, and veggies such as celery! Be sure to remove the crust from the bread if you are serving these for a special event.
