Notes
- This recipe can be made on the grill or in the oven. If making this on the grill, prepare your grill for indirect grilling, banking charcoal to either side of the grill and leaving the center as the cooler zone. If using a gas grill only ignite some of the burners, allowing the grill to preheat to 350 degrees. For additional flavor add wood chips to your charcoal.
- You can mix up the combination of cheeses for this pimento cheese dip. Make sure that one of them is a good melting cheese like Monterey Jack or Colby Jack.
