The 2024 Masters start this week, and its traditions are unlike any other in sports. One of the more timeless, especially for those wandering the course as fans at Augusta, is the delicious pimento cheese sandwich.
It’s cheap, delectable, and an ideal little treat while watching some of the world’s greatest golfers duke it out in the sport’s premier tournament. It also goes without saying that if you’re not in attendance at Augusta, you can still make a pimento cheese sandwich at home!
And you should really try because:
1. It’s delicious.
2. You’ll feel more involved when watching from your couch.

- One(four-ounce) jar of sliced pimentos
