The Deen Family’s Pimiento Mac and Cheese
Bobby may just make the best pimiento cheese there is. This version is a combo of Bobby’s recipe and the classic Lady & Sons’ version. We like to use pimiento cheese everywhere, not just as a dip. Leftovers sometimes find their way onto a burger, and every once in a while, we’ll make a batch just for this souped-up mac and cheese, which we often serve with a nice cup of hot tomato soup.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Process the cream cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add 2 cups of the cheddar cheese, the Monterey Jack cheese, the mayonnaise, pimiento, onion, salt, garlic powder, and pepper and pulse to combine.
Step 3
Transfer the pimiento cheese to a large bowl and stir in the macaroni. Spread the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and top with the remaining 2 cups cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is golden and bubbly.
