♥️ In case you’re a first time visitor, you’ve just stepped into a kitchen with real food, good company… and hold onto your spoon, real explicit directions!
Nothing worse than half a recipe, or one that instructs you to go to a link that isn’t there! 😳
If you love to cook, or can’t boil water, this is you’re one stop site for success!
I’m a Kentuckian that learned to cook standing on a lard can in my grandmother’s kitchen sixty eight years ago.
I’ve watched almost all their videos, Flawless!
You are so right on with your comments!! I have really enjoyed this channel. Subscribe y'all, you won't be sorry!
I’m a 70 y/o married to my husband 54 years! I never ever waste a drop of anything so that made me sit up and listen to Tom’s recipes! His explicit instructions reeled me in! I have never cooked a recipe of his that my husband and I do not like! Sure in 70 yrs I have my own pimento cheese recipe! But I’m still open minded and I am going to try his version! Why wouldn’t I? Everything he makes is really really good! I will leave it to my husband to see which he likes! I will let you know!
I have been making homemade pimento cheese spread for decades with just three ingredients. Shredded cheddar cheese, pimentos and mayonnaise. When I saw this recipe I thought I had to try it and let me tell you this is how I will be making my pimento cheese from now on. it is delicious!
Can I send my husband to take cooking lessons? You are such a great cook, Your Wife is blessed!!!!!!!!😊
I made your pimento cheese today. It was delicious and super easy. Before I added the pimentos, the recipe was too thick and I got a little worried. But when I added the jar of pimentos, everything was okay and was exactly right. I shared half of this recipe with my neighbor, they loved it also. Thank you!
I ran to the store and got everything I need for this recipe. You cannot find good pimento cheese anywhere. Thank you
Fantastic! We really hope you love it! And thanks so much for watching our videos!
I made this a couple of days ago, and it is the best pimento cheese I have ever eaten. Shared some with a co-worker and she also fell in love with it. Thanks Tom!!
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for sharing it with friends, too!
Years ago my husband would occasionally come home from grocery shopping with a small tub of pimento cheese and fresh loaf of French bread. It was a favorite treat of his. I wish I’d had your recipe back then. I think he would have loved it. I will give this a go. I have no doubt it will be scrumptious. Thank you.
I made this today. I’m 76 years old and from south Mississippi and this is the first time I ever had pickles in my pimento and cheese. Interesting! But not sure it will take over first place. 😮 But hey, I enjoy your show. I bet you were a very good teacher. Looking forward to making the key lime pie. 😋 Carolyn
We appreciate that you tried our version. Thanks for your kind words and for watching our videos.
I haven’t had pimento cheese with sweet pickle relish either but I’m definitely going to try it. I love sweet relish and celery in my tuna salad, so I’ll probably like this too! I’m 66 and have never made pimento cheese! I guess because my husband doesn’t like it. My list of your recipes to try is growing!
My Mother made homemade pimento cheese & it was delicious.
She never used cream cheese nor pickle relish but she did use some velvetta which she warmed a little & mixed it until it was creamy with her hand mixer. Then she added the other ingredients & the shredded cheese last.
I make my own too & I use shredded sharp white & yellow cheddar cheese because we like the sharp cheese, miracle whip and 2 jars of pimento’s with the juice, & garlic salt.
I add some sugar in the mayo & mix it well. And I use some warmed velvetta, which gives it a better flavor than the cream cheese. I love your channel & Merry Christmas😊
I'm a 54 year old Florida Panhandle gal... moved to Indiana 5 years ago... you cannot find good Pimento Cheese here!!!😟 I'm so glad yall shared this..🧡🧡 I lost my Nanys recipe for homemade & now I have a new one to try!!😋😋😋
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching our videos!
@shannonwhite7605
In Virginia we use a pound of sharp cheddar cheese and a pound of Velveeta cheese, mayo, garlic salt, pepper and 2 small jars of canned pimentos.
Everything goes into an old-fashioned meat grinder and wala yummiest pimento cheese around. You can also add a few red pepper flakes if you like. But, seriously, it's the best.
@sylphofthewildwoods5518 I'm definitely gonna try this recipe too! Sounds so yummy!😋💛
Always wanted to visit India,, but hwvnt been able to yet,, and what is a pandhandgal?
@@kimberlysmith7311A gal that lives in the Florida panhandle.
I remember this as a child & mama would make us a sandwich or put it on celery also, peanutbutter also for a snack after school. Thank you for sharing. Will make it as I keep cheeses on hand.i don't use miracle whip either,. I use mayo. God Bless, & always live to watch your videos. Going for your cookbook too. ❤😂🎉😊
Oooh Tom and Melissa, I just made the pimento cheese. Letting it rest for a while then we will be having sandwiches with soup. Thanks for sharing. Also in my mind Philadelphia is the best cream cheese. I also bought Miracle Whip which I have never done as far as I can remember. We have been married 54 years. You introduced me to something other than mayo! God bless you both and I would just love to “Come Sit at Your Table”!!!❤
We love to have you with us at the table! We hope you enjoy using Miracle Whip. We love it for sandwiches but with baking, we find mayonnaise holds up better.
I love your little box grater !
You are my favorite cooking blog! I am nearing 80 and love to cook. But I have some health challenges which limit the amount of time I can spend on my feet. Still, I really enjoy my time spent "Sitting at Your Table!"
My mom used to buy this is a tiny jar and it was so expensive so we only had it for Thanksgiving or Christmas. She put it on celery or crackers. I’m so excited to see this recipe that I could jump right in my iPad and give you both a big hug 🤗. I’ll be making it for any occasion now. Thank you so much 😊
Awwwwww y’all are so cute 🥰
Thank you for the recipe! That looks delicious. It is good to see you, Melissa trying the recipe. The difference between the two of you tasting the Pimento Cheese was so funny! Your dainty little bit compared to Tom's approach of "swallow the whole thing." LOL You make such a cute, interesting couple.
Tom, Having lived 20 years in four Southern states I never came across a " perfect " pimento cheese recipe. I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this magnificent recipe! A devoted follower, Rosie T
Fantastic! We are so happy that you like our recipe! Thanks so much for the vote of approval and for watching our channel. We really do appreciate that.
Thank you. I make my grandmothers Pimento Cheese (My grandfather called it Minner Cheese). She said "You can scrimp and scrape but you have to get Hellman's Mayonnaise." I use my Great Aunt Lucille's sweet pickles and I HAVE to make 5 pounds at a time for friends and family. AND what I love about Southern Caviar is every family has their own recipe. God Bless and stay safe.
My mom always called it ‘min-na-pa-cheese’. My uncle who is four years younger than mama couldn’t quite say pimento cheese as a toddler. Both have been gone a few years now but I still call it minnapacheese. Oh what a wonderful memory this brings up. Thank you
Your wife is a lucky lady!
I enjoy your channel. Thank you both!
Yes, I am! He’s a great cook!
Thanks for watching our videos. We really appreciate it!
Everybody says Miracle Whip is sweet, but I perceive it as tangy and mayonnaise as sweet. I love Miracle Whip and only use mayonnaise in a very few recipes that are very specific to needing it.
@@dorrisdale6269 Miracle Whip is horrible! 🤮
@@lizelliott2169 You are entitled to your opinion and I to mine.
@@dorrisdale6269 So what’s your point in replying to me? 🤣🤣
Btw, who’s everybody?
@@lizelliott2169 Everyone in my family
I’ve never put sweet relish in mine, but will try it. I agree home made pimento cheese is better. Thank you for all the recipes you give us❣️ Your wife has to be a good woman to find a husband that cooks. What a blessing ❣️
I did make this pimiento cheese and strictly followed the directions. At your suggestion, I chopped up bread and butter pickles rather than using relish. I let it sit in the fridge overnight. Just like you said! It was the best pimiento recipe I have ever made. I just tossed all the other recipe cards I had accumulated. This is my go to and I have made it many times. I will make it many, many more times. I also tried the chili recipe you created saying that none you had tried were quite right. I do think you nailed it. It is so good and I have several cartons in my freezer now! I so enjoy your videos and all the wonderful dishes you bring to us!
I really like your videos. I have never had pimento cheese and I am 78. I can't wait to make your recipe. I love that you never waste anything. Have a great day.
We are so happy that you are going to try this recipe. I hope you will let us know what you think about it. We believe you are in for a treat!
I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS EVERDAY
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND YOUR FAMILY
I just Love watching y'alls videos. My parents never taught me how to cook, so it's been something I have learned by watching videos like this. I'm 38 years old and I feel like I'm being taught by some amazing parents. Thank you both for sharing so many wonderful recipes with so many of us, many whom are being fed more than recipes! God Bless you both! Merry Christmas as well!!

@@robertasolomon7052 Then leave pickles out.
Yum, havent had pimento cheese for a long long time, and such nice surprise to meet Melissa on camera. We really enjoy your videos so much... God Bless yous
There is Nothing better than teacher, church ladies recipes.
Tom is the best on youtube. I love his habit of leaving Nothing in bottom of mixing bowl. other cooks really irritate me doing this. He always uses the finest ingredients. One question: why does he use imitation vanilla and not the pure vanilla?
He said during one of his other videos he prefers not having the dark color added. He seems to get a lot of tacky, snarky questions. He is so polite I doubt he will ever respond except in the kindest, most polite way. He knows what he likes and is showing you the way he does things. If you have ever cooked at all, you know that you certainly can replace imitation vanilla with vanilla extract without a problem if you want. But the result will not be the same.
I love pimento cheese and make it often, but I do not want pickle relish or Miracle Whip in mine. Not saying it might not be good, but that's just strange with pickles and I cannot stand the taste of Miracle Whip, so I never use it in anything. I'm a Hellman's mayo girl! I do put cream cheese in my chicken salad and might try it next time I make pimento cheese.
I'm The Exact OPPOSITE! I LOVE 'MIRACLE WHIP'& Absolutely HATE ' REAL MAYO' Of ANY BRAND!
I absolutely cannot eat Hellmans Mayo! It makes me sick and I,lose, it within 15 minutes, every time I eat Hellmans! I don’t know what it is that makes me so sick, but it sure does, every single time! I first discovered this peculiar sensitivity the very first time I had it on a sandwich my new Mother In Law fixed me! I was so embarrassed, but quickly found out it was NOT her Jar that made me sick. I just cannot eat the brand of Hellmans in or by anything marked Hellmans!
Just love the openness of your kitchen and family room. So inviting and cozy. Of course the Pimento Cheese looks Devine. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My oldest son’s favorite cheese spread is pimento! I also love it. I have everything in my home to make this, and he’s coming over soon We both can’t wait to try to. Thanks so much Melissa and Tom. I spend most of my days and evening going through all your wonderful videos. You both keep me company . I feel like a guest in your house ❤
Ok we couldn’t wait to chill it for an hour😂. We are literally overdosing on it right now ! Ommmmggggooodness. It’s wonderful!!!! 🥰

Wow, someone who uses Miracle Whip in pimento cheese! Everyone else I've seen uses mayo. I've been looking for a recipe; don't want to have store bought. I grew up on Miracle Whip, I tend to use mayo for recipes that call for it and for tarter sauce and that's about it. Thanks for telling us not to use dill pickles, I was just wondering that as you pulled out the sweet. I always use dill relish, so I'd have to buy sweet. Thanks for posting this. Merry Christmas to y'all, hope you and the family have a lovely and blessed holiday.
Yes someone likes Miracle Whip-that all mama ever had in the hills of Ark-when I got married my husband who was norn and raised on a farm close to Peoria Illinois-and they always use Hellmans so I learned to like it -those are the only ones I like-a store up here finally got some Dukes-so I thought a lot of people in the deep south only use Dukes so I got a quart-i did not like the taste-but I used it till it was gone-will never get Dukes again😅-to each his own😂
I love you don’t waste!! This recipe looks wonderful!! Great video as usual!!❤
THANK-YOU TOM AND MELISSA
I REALLY ENJOY
I make celery stick with pimento cheese and i always use just cream cheese for it. It keeps it moist and creamy. But if you have never had it on celery sticks you have to try it.😊😊
I am enjoying your channel. If you want to cook for my family in Daytona Beach. This is how I make pimento cheese except I use garlic powder and no additional sugar. Just the sweetness of the miracle whip. Next time I will try your recipe. Ya’ll have a good day.
Loved seeing Melissa on camera. Definitely beautiful 😊
I have been looking for a great homemade pimento cheese recipe.
Thanks Tom and Melissa.
I’ve been looking for a pimento cheese recipe and this sure looks good! Thanks for sharing!
I love pimento cheese. I'll have to make yours. Locally they don't have pimentos so I'll make my own from Red sweet bell peppers. I'll brine them overnight in a little bit of salt vinegar and sugar in water I'll drain the water before I use them
I am just dying to make this as I love pimento cheese spread. TY for your great recipes and inviting me into your home! I love visiting with you both ❤
Looks so delicious!!! I enjoyed getting to see your beautiful wife do a taste test too! Y'all make a lovely couple!! I'm going to try to make this tonight for my husband .... he loves, loves pimento cheese! Thank you for teaching us how to make this!!!
I just can’t get over this and can’t get enough of this yummy cheese spread. Not only did I make it yesterday , and my Son and I devoured it. But today I made it again, but unfortunately, ( or I thought unfortunately) I was out of pimentos , I had a jar of Botticelli brand red cherry peppers. ( from Walmart). So you can guess, I took your advice, “ always make it your own!). So I put the cherry peppers in my food processor and chopped finely.. We like a bit of heat in this family oh my goodness it was amazing!
My next batch will be adding horseradish. We love that too. Thanks again for this fantastic recipe! Sending tons of love and well wishes to you both !
I have been wanting some pimento cheese; but another thing that cannot be purchased up here. BUT, I have ALL of the ingredients to make THIS! Now, off to the kitchen...
Oh, THANKS, again
OhMyGoodness, it was so good when I mixed it. I let it sit in the refrigerator, overnight, to marry and chill. We'll have sandwiches, for lunch, today!
You & your wife are now my favorite, anyone who uses miracle whip has to be wonderful!!!
You have given me a big laugh. I love comments like this! Thank you so much for watching our video.
@@comesitatmytable9044 It's funny because I have to have Miracle Whip on my BLT's and turkey sandwiches. I'm from MI, but most of my friend's just will not have it. I think they're missing out!
I tried your grease trick with the foil in the sink hold … worked like a charm … Thank You
I also ordered the things I need to make your pumpkin sheet cake
I did the same a couple days ago & yes, it worked like a charm.
I can't add this to fb. I quit fb 2 or 3 yrs. ago. I disagreed with their policies. UA-cam is the only social media I mess with anymore. I am so glad I found you! I spent all Sunday afternoon watching and commenting!
We love having you join us at the table! Thank you so much for watching and sending us feedback. We really appreciate it.
Cary, NC has a Pimento Cheese festival. Good eats.
I made this today and it is as delicious ! Thank you for sharing your recipe and with your permission, I’m going to share it with my friends! And thanks for the clear instructions and for your wife supplying the written recipe. Sure enjoy your videos and have earmarked some to make! Thanks again and take care! 👍
I just love your channel!!
❤❤❤❤❤I just found y'all and wow I think y'all are just amazing, my husband lives pimiento sandwiches with chili, i never heard of it before but what the heck we are both southern folks him Kentucky me Tennessee, and we are just blending cultures lol ,but anyway you have a new loyal follower and I just love everything I have seen ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for all you do .
Thank you so much and we really do appreciate that you are watching our channel! We love the combination of pimento cheese with chili and we hope you come to love it too! We hope you and your husband have a very Merry Christmas!
That looks so good. I'm gonna have to try that and you know you told me I'm getting pickled you Saturday, or did you shout out there to teach my little sky nurse for tear or something? It's drained a little bit juice out. Then pull the pickle Rose back in the jar. And you know you can get your honey to make something. And let us say her, but she's beautiful.❤❤❤❤❤
This is delicious. I’ve been looking in stores for pimiento cheese but they all have so many additives. I was so happy to come across you and your recipe. I made it and am eating it as a dip with celery. 🙂
I’m getting hungry and hearing about your snack makes me want one of my own. Thank you for watching.
That awesome I, bet so good. ❤ Merry Christmas to you Melissa and Tom your family friend. Great holidays season.🌲🎁
Glad I found your video! Had been promising my Grandson and Granddaughter I would make them some. Instead of pickles and sugar I added chopped fresh jalapeños and a 7 oz jar pimentos. All I had was garlic power so did that with Pink salt! Was delish! She loved it so did my hubs.
We are delighted to hear that it was a success. Thank you so much for watching our channel.
Love your recipes. Have you thought about a Brunswick stew? I would love to see you make that. You’re both a blessing.❤
I have been watching your videos for about a year, this is the first time I have seen Melissa , you match your voice exactly,beautiful!
Thank you so much. Your words are very kind. I have made a view appearances, but Tom is the definite cook in the family. I really do appreciate that you are watching our channel. This is one of our earliest videos. We were really trying to figure it all out at that point. We appreciate that you have joined us at the table.
I just made this and this is the best pimento cheese I have ever eaten! I have tried numerous recipes that just didn’t work out. So I went back to buying it in the grocery store which isn’t as good as this! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I am sharing this with my sister as well as facebook.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh My Gosh!!!! You have my mouth watering. I'm definitely gonna try this.
Oh, my goodness! I have never made pimento cheese with pickle relish, and think I'll try it with Famous Dave's hot and spicy pickle relish! Yum!
That would be nice. Add a bit of a bite! Thank you so much for watching our channel.
Im so happy i found your channel. My new go to for good recipes.
Thank you for this recipe! This is what my taste buds were looking for. I knew the version I liked had sweet relish in it, but no one else had it in their recipe. I'm excited to make it.
I love a good pimento cheese an I love your “clean as you go cooking ethic”. I was raised waste not want not and to clean as I go so clean up is made so much easier!
I love pimento cheese spread but it was one thing I never knew how to make. And now I do sir. So thank you very much Tom.
I AM MAKING THIS TODAY.
I KNOW. IT WILL BE. A WINNER
FOR MY FRIEND'S..
We hope everyone loves it. Please share our channel with your friends! Thank you so much for watching. We really do appreciate it.
I couldn’t stand pimento cheese until I tasted my mother in loves home made! So yummy!
Hope you enjoy this one if you make it. Thank you for watching our video.
Love your recipes!
Love idea recipes good food .
Mount olive pickles has bread and butter sweet relish now. It is called (Simply Sweet Relish)
Miracle whip. Man after my own heart. ❤❤❤
I'm a convert! Dragged out my kitchenaid that was languishing in the bottom cupboard and have fired it up and tried several of your recipes. This will be the newest to try. They are all wonderful! Thank you for sharing your family and your recipes!!❤
We are so happy to read your comment! You've made us smile! Thank you so much for trying them out - and for watching some of our earliest videos! We had so much to learn when we first started - and we are definitely still a work in progress - but we really are excited when people watch some of those first videos of ours!
Great recipe, Tom!
Hi 👋, ❤❤❤❤❤ love it 😊 ❤ I will try shall with you cooking videos ❤ thank you for recipes ❤ bless amen 🙏 ❤
I don’t normally like pimento cheese bc I don’t like mayo! I do love this recipe bc I put less than the recipe called for & it’s perfect for me!!
I love pinento cheese, and just love that y'all like mild cheddar and Miracle Whip. Have you heard that chic fil a has a pimento cheese sandwich? Haven't had one yet, but hear their awsome.
Not heard that but we think Chic fil a does a good job with food so we would probably try one sometime.
I can’t wait to make this! I love your recipes!
We think this is a really nice pimento cheese and we hope you enjoy it like we do! Thanks so much for watching our channel.
✍Hello... So glad I decided to look at least one more video before going to bed and I'm glad I did. Growing up in the 50s my mom would buy Kraft Pimento cheese in the small glasses for the holidays or for parties. When I married 60 years ago I continued to follow my moms traditions and bought the pimento and the pineapple spreads in the glasses till last year cause Kraft quit making them. Your recipe sounds like it might just be the recipe I'm looking for. The Kraft Pimento cheese in the small glasses is on the sweet side and so as it sounds your recipe so I'll try making it. Its really late so Good Night😴 God Bless LuvYa! Bye from Ohio🌹
I love those spreads. Haven't seen them in a while.
I love when you tap the spoon on the side of the bowl… I do it too!
Gosh I’ve just been binge-watching your channel!! I will try this soon! You two have a great channel.
Another great video, my friend I’m off to the store to get my ingredients lol
My wife followed your recipe and she added 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika...it's delicious...thank you
You are so welcome! We appreciate that you are watching our channel.
You're a really good cook. Thank's for the great homemade recipes. Most people don't cook like this anymore. Sad
This Homemade Pimento Cheese recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.
Thanks for sharing I love your shows
I agree that Philadelphia is the best & always used it. Then I had to buy Aldi's because thats where i happened to be, & to my amazement ii was just as good. Tastes & texture is the same. I only buy Aldi's now.
Can’t wait to make this!
I enjoy watching your simple and tasty recipes. I’ll be looking for them. Thanks.
How nice to see Melissa! I’m fairly new to the channel so have been watching your more recent videos. I have the same kitchen aid beater attachment, love it.
I am a new subscriber as of this afternoon. I LOVE Your Channel!!! Store bought pimento cheese is NOT Good. I'm a Miracle Whip gal.
I love all of your recipes!! You seem to make them so simple and I appreciate that! Please keep them coming!!

Oh my looks delicious!!!
I just watched this video and I am going out tomorrow and get a block of cheese tomorrow, I have everything else. I actually have my own bread and butter pickles that I canned I’m going to use them and their juice, oh I can’t wait , I love pimento cheese, I’ll be back to let you know how much we love it. You two are the sweetest couple.
Great recipe thank you Tom & Melissa for new recipe💛💚🙏Blessings in this Christmas Week💛💚Bodi
I eat it on celery also. It is so delicious
My step mother made this with med cheese, a very little bit of finely grated onion, pimento and mayo, very simple. This looks delicious, might make for holiday parties. I’m new to your channel, love watching you guys
We love having you at the table. Thanks so much for joining us and watching one of our earliest videos. We were just starting our channel back then and this was one of our first attempts.
