Anyone have one they love and are willing to share?

No one in my family or close friends has one, and I've been craving it lately.

Figured I'd ask before resorting to simply Googling it / looking to Alton Brown.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

My wife uses one that has a bit of Worchestershire sauce in it, and it is bar-none the best recipe I've tried. I will try to procure the recipe for you....

Publix carries a Palmetto and Cheese from South Carolina. Spicy, maybe has cayenne. I have the Masters, Augusta National copycat recipe. I'll look for it.

Here it is:

This real close to what I use

Last batch I made I substituted roasted red bell peppers for pimentos. Make your own or they can be found with the olives usually at local grocery

This plus a little hot sauce of your choosing to give some ZING!

Some of the recipes I read call for Sharp Cheddar, specifically due to it having less moisture content than mild, which is supposed to have a meaningful effect on the texture.

Have you ever noticed a difference?

At my age and in my condition, zing is no longer what it’s cracked up to be.

I smoke pork butts fairly often, and quesadillas made with pulled pork, pimento cheese, and Frank's Red Hot is one of my favorite things to make with the leftover pork.

I've never made my own pimento cheese, though. I'll have to give that a shot. I usually buy it premade from Sam's Club - either the Smoked Gouda pimento cheese or Palmetto pimento cheese.

^ Pulled Pork Quesadillas are one of my favorites, too.

I'll have to try it with Pimento. I usually just use regular Mexi Shredded.

Oh man, that sounds good, too. I guess I have a reason to go to Sam's, too, now.

A little cream cheese is a good addition. It makes it spread nicely, and gives it a creaminess that is good.

Some lemon/vinegar and worchestershire sauce also pep it up a little.

46and2, thank you for asking this. I was just thinking about the very subject as my deceased father used to love that sammich.

I never knew the importance of finding out such information from a parent until approximately 10 years after his death.

All - thank you for some wonderful ideas. I suspect I will try a few out and pass along my favorite(s) to my brothers.

Wonder is traditional.

I like plain white bread, but one of the higher-end, non-squishy varieties.
