    You will not find an Ole Miss Tailgate party without the Southern classic pimento cheese. Many Mississippians claim their state is the birthplace of real pimento cheese. As far as I am concerned, it is a food group. Savory cheddar cheese, creamy mayonnaise, and special additions liven up any football party!  Especially these Gosh Almighty Pimento Cheese BLT's. Yes, yes we did. Homemade pimento cheese spread topped with bacon, tomato, and lettuce. The crowd will go wild with this deliciously addictive party sandwich.  Attention all you Rebels out there, this recipe is for you. 

    Pimento Cheese BLT's - A southern classic tailgate recipe

    SEC Tailgate Special : The University of Mississippi

    We love food and we love football. A perfect pair! This football season, we have a tailgate recipe for every team in the South Eastern Conference.

    Our goal: to capture the spirit of each school’s team and make a fun and delicious recipe using local flavor and flair. So we put our football differences aside, and researched every school.

    If you have ever been to an SEC Tailgate, you know that food is the only thing that brings opposing fans together. (Besides the fact that we all want to beat Bama!) 

    If you don’t follow college football or aren’t a fan of the SEC…that’s totally ok. The SEC Tailgate recipes are still awesome for your next party. Or a Tuesday. (We won’t judge.)

    Not going to lie, I could eat these every day of the week! They are that good. Have you tried our classic Full Cheddar Pimento Cheese yet?

    This is a variation of that original recipe, but using Monterrey Jack and a sweeter flavor. (Not too sweet, just a little to taste amazing with the crispy and salty bacon.)

    Monterrey Jack is one of my favorite types of cheese. Full of flavor but not too strong, perfect for this recipe.

    The secret to making a creamy pimento cheese? Shred part of your cheese in regular size shreds. Shred the rest in the super fine shreds. Gives any pimento cheese the perfect texture.

    Of course, we only use Duke's mayo in our pimento cheese, but feel free to use your favorite good quality mayo.

    • 16 oz Monterrey Jack cheese
    • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese
    • 1 ½ cups Duke's mayo
    • 8 oz sliced pimentos drained
    • 2 TB sugar
    • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

    • Lettuce

    Instructions

    • Combine the cheeses with the mayo, pimentos, sugar, Worcestershire, pepper, and paprika. Combine very well.
