Smoked Bacon Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese is a staple of the American South. In this version we combine shredded cheddar and gouda cheese with diced bacon, cream cheese, and mayonnaise before smoking the pimento cheese dip on our smoker.

Ingredients
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 7 ounces gouda shredded
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 3 slices Bacon cooked and chopped
- 4 ounce pimento peppers diced
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl combine the shredded cheeses, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise and spices.
- Drain and rinse the diced pimentos and add them to the bowl.
- Fry up the 3 slices of bacon then finely chop and add to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Spread the pimento cheese in a 9-inch foil pie dish and preheat your smoker to 200 degrees.
- Smoke the bacon pimento cheese for 45 minutes, until warm and melted.
