Delicious Recipes for Uncle Chris’ Premium Pimento Cheese

1. Preheat broiler to 500 degrees (or low if you cannot set the degree). Line a baking sheet with a cooling/wire rack.
2. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and core.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of pimento cheese to each pepper.
4. Wrap each jalapeño in 1 slice of bacon.
5. Place the poppers on the baking sheet and place the baking sheet on the center rack in the oven. Do not put them on the high rack directly under the broiler plate.
6. Cook for approximately 10 minutes. The bacon should be a chewy crisp and poppers should be softened.
7. If needed, cook in 1 minute intervals after the 10 minutes is up if the bacon is not cooked enough. Do not let bacon get too crispy or it will not stay on the poppers.

1. Put pimento cheese in bottom of plastic baggie until filled about 1 ½ inches across bottom of bag. Roll into a "log" shape.
2. Put baggie in freezer on level surface and freeze 2+ hours.
3. Create 2 thin patties (about 3-½ inches wide) and put a ¾ inch slice of pimento cheese "log" between them. Pinch and smooth edges.
4. Repeat until all beef has been used.
5. Grill 4-6 minutes on each side (middle will still seem soft- Don't worry- It's just cheese!)
6. Top any way desired!

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread pimento cheese evenly under skin and over breasts and thighs of chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Place on a lightly greased rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion of thigh registers 165°F, about 55 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

1. Choose your favorite flavor of Uncle Chris' Premium Pimento Cheese.
2. Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Place 8 bread slices, buttered sides down, on a hot griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Spread 1/2 cup pimento cheese over each bread slice on griddle. Top each with 2 cooked bacon slices.
4. Place remaining 8 bread slices, buttered sides up, on bacon. Turn sandwiches, and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. (Pimento cheese should be slightly melted.) Serve with strawberry preserves.
   

1. Place phyllo cups on baking sheet.
2. Spoon 1 teaspoon pimento cheese into each phyllo cup.
3. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with bacon bits.
5. Bake another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

2. Add additional ingredients adjusting for personal taste. Mix well.
3. Chill for 1-2 hours.
4. Divide into 2 or 3 portions and roll into balls.
5. Roll each ball in your choice of ingredients. Suggestions are below.

Roll cheese balls in one or more of these suggested combinations:

• Bacon bits and chopped pecans, 
• Chopped fresh herbs and cracked black pepper
• Paprika/chili powder/pecans. 
  

1. Cook grits according to package directions with 4 cups whole milk and 1 tsp salt. This should take 10-15 mins.
2. When grits are cooked to your liking, remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Serve immediately!

You can vary this recipe by using 1% milk to make it thinner (this recipe will make thick grits) and adjust to your spice preference by using more or less red pepper flakes or using pimento cheese with or without jalapenos.
