My Pimento Cheese

I'm kind of a purist when it comes to pimento cheese and quacamoli.  I add very few ingredients to either.  With all the interest in a new "store bought" pimento cheese, I decided it is time to post my recipe.

1/2 cup mayonaise
smallest jar of diced pimentos
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 oz bag of finely grated sharp cheddar cheese.

Add black pepper and the whole jar of pimentos, juice and all, to the mayonaise. Stir.
Fold in the grated cheese.
That's it!  Ready to go.
Use your favorite mayonaise, I prefer Dukes, and by all means grate block cheese, if you wish.  I'm just all about doing things the easiest way.

Sausage and cheese dip

Today velveeta cheese was on sale at Publix and I was reminded of a recipe I haven't made in a long time.  I had forgotten just how good it is.
1 8 oz block of velveeta
1 can rotel tomatoes
1 pound sausage
Diced onion optional
You'll also need your favorite tortilla chips.
Cook the sausage and onion together until sausage is no longer pink.  Drain grease if necessary.  Add can of Rotel.
Dice up the cheese and add to the pot.   Simmer over low heat until cheese is melted.
Serve with tortilla chips.
You control the heat with the sausage and the rotel.  I used mild for both.   You do what suits you.
