Gouda Pimento Cheese
We were going to the Cotton Bowl, the first in the new Cowboys Stadium, when I discovered my new favorite Pimento Cheese spread: Gouda Pimento Cheese. (And it doesn’t use smoked Gouda.) As every good Southerner knows, you must have a tasty pimento cheese recipe in your recipe box. I’ve always said that when Southern girls get engaged, our moms give us a stack of handwritten recipes, including Pimento Cheese, Pound Cake, and Fried Chicken.
What is pimento cheese?
Pimento Cheese is a popular Southern spread consisting of cheese, pimento peppers, mayonnaise, and seasonings. This cheesy spread can be used in a sandwich, or a grilled sandwich, to top burgers, or as a dip with crackers. It can be eaten hot or cold. And it’s great for picnics and tailgating. Try Gouda Pimento Cheese for a delightful twist!

When tailgating before football games, you’ll always find Pimento Cheese, brownies, and bourbon. We have also added garlic parmesan white bean dip and and first place chili to our favorites.
That brings us back to the Cotton Bowl. So we stopped at a random chain grocery store with a little gourmet deli to pick up some items for tailgating before the BIG game. I choose this interesting Gouda Pimento Cheese. WOW!!! It was fabulous. We don’t have that particular chain of stores in Mississippi, so we had to recreate this cheese spread.

I grew up on Pimento Cheese and this was such a delicious twist on it! Thank you for sharing!
The Gouda cheese was delicious in this creamy dip! Thank you for recipe!
My husband finally got me to eat pimento cheese! lol He grew up on it and I did not. But, when I saw this recipe using Gouda, I couldn’t resist. It’s delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
This is so crazy good! I can’t get enough. Thanks so much for sharing.
Your Gouda pimento cheese is delicious! My husband grew up eating pimento cheese and it has always seemed a little strange to me, because we didn’t. I’ve tasted several and wasn’t that excited about them. Well, I have to tell you, he LOVED this one made with Gouda! And I enjoyed it, too. Thanks for the recipe!
What a great cheesy combination! Will definitely make it again.
This is sooooo delicious. It tastes BETTER than the stuff I got in the deli department and was way cheaper! Thank you for this awesome recipe that isn’t ingredient heavy or weird. The other recipes called for a lot of different cheeses or seasonings. This is just right!
I am scared. Being from the south, pimento cheese can ONLY be made with cheddar. But dang, this stuff is amazing! Thanks for sharing this recipe, I’m making my second batch now.
I understand your hesitation. I would not have ventured out if I had not tried it first. My husband grew up making it with Velveeta cheese, now I thought that was super weird, to begin with, but it’s really good, creamy.
I could eat Gouda every day of my life! ha! Try it and tell me if you like it.
Wow, pimento with Gouda??? sounds delishhh! Thanks for sharing on Southern Sundays.
