Smoky Hot Pimiento Cheese

This Southern staple has been gracing buffet tables and cookbook pages for generations. While some say passé, we say, pass the pimento cheese, please. Delicious on a cracker. Fantastic on a burger. Stir it into grits. Makes an amazing mac and cheese. We're all about this old-fashioned favorite. Anne waxed poetic about it in this blog post. Read it, then make a batch. Just add crackers.

4 Tbl mayonnaise

1 4-oz jar diced pimientos, drained

1 tsp finely grated onion

1/2 tsp Smoked Hot Paprika
