Open the tub, give it a little stir and grab some crackers out of the cupboard. You could also slather it between a couple of slices of white bread. Either way, this one isn&#8217;t gonna last long. The ingredient list is pretty straight forward:  extra sharp cheddar, roasted pimentos, mayo, canola oil, egg yolks, vinegar, lemon, salt, sugar, onion powder, citric acid and &#8220;spice.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to see what would happen, I warmed up a couple of tablespoons in a little bowl to see how &#8220;nachos&#8221; friendly it might be. It&#8217;s totally NOT how you&#8217;re intended to eat it, but I did it anyway. The cheese firms up pretty fast, so it&#8217;s not like this is going to be a replacement for cheese sauce. But, if it&#8217;s just you, and you&#8217;ve got a craving for nachos and no other options, you could totally use this dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pimento Cheese experts, let me know what you thought of this one.
