If there is one concession item the Masters is known for, it’s pimento cheese.
For those lucky enough to be onsite at Augusta National this week, the famous sandwich is still available for only $1.50. But for the rest of us watching from home, our only shot at getting a taste is making it ourselves. Luckily, that’s easier than you think.
Chance Cozby — also known by his social media handle @3piecesofpecan, which boasts more than 1.6 million online followers across multiple platforms — demonstrated just how simple the process is with a quick video. Here’s how to do it.
Chance Cozby’s Masters-inspired pimento cheese
-8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
-8 oz sharp white cheddar, grated
-1/2 cup mayo
-4 oz pimentos, strained
-4 oz cream cheese, softened
-1/4 tsp each of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne
The prep — grating the cheese and straining the pimentos — is probably the most difficult part of this extremely easy mixture. That’s how simple it is!
All you have to do is combine each of the ingredients listed above into a serving dish, then chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
There’s no better way to take in the final-round action than with some traditional Augusta National fare, so gather up the ingredients you need and settle in to an afternoon of viewing — and snacking! — unlike any other.
“Make a sandwich, as a dip, on a burger,” Cozby says. “Pimento cheese on Masters weekend is damn good.”
