Southern Macaroni and Pimiento Cheese
A basic Southern-style pimiento cheese spread is combined with macaroni and baked to perfection with a crunchy French fried onion topping. I add some onion powder to the cheese mixture, but a teaspoon or two of fresh grated onion can be added instead.

Add a dash of garlic powder to the dish or rub a split clove of garlic over the bottom and sides of the baking dish before buttering.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 1 tablespoon salt, more to taste
  • ΒΌ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimientos*, drained, see note
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder, or 2 teaspoons grated onion
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup French fried onions, crumbled
