Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Cheese

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend them together until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Pimentos

Drain the pimentos and add them to the cheese mixture. Stir gently to incorporate them without breaking them up too much.

3. Mix in Other Ingredients

Add mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

4. Taste and Adjust Seasoning

Taste the pimento cheese and adjust the seasoning with more salt, black pepper, or cayenne if desired.

5. Chill and Serve

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with crackers, on sandwiches, or as a dip.
