Dips and Spreads Recipe ⤑ Aunt Erma Lee's Smooth and Creamy Pimento Cheese

This is a creamy spread that is cooked. My Aunt Erma Lee was a great cook. Feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste. This is a great spread for sandwiches with soup. Try spreading it on buns with hamburgers or sloppy joes for a new twist! Soars above store-bought! Can be kept under refrigeration for up to one week.

Ingredients

• 1 (2 pound) loaf processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cut into 8 pieces
• 2 (7 ounce) jars pimento peppers, drained and chopped
• ¼ cup tarragon vinegar
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ¼ cup white sugar

Cooking Directions

1. Combine cheese food, pimento peppers, tarragon vinegar, mayonnaise, butter, and sugar in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over low-heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese and butter are melted completely, about 20 minutes.
2. Pour mixture into sealable containers and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
