Author: Lauren Pacek

Ingredients

  • 16 oz cheddar cheese, freshly grated (see notes)
  • 8 oz package of cream cheese, room temperature
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup pimientos, diced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  • Using a hand mixer (or stand mixer), cream the cheese, cream cheese, and mayonnaise together until completely combined.
  • Add the pimientos, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper and stir until combined.
  • Refrigerate, covered, for about an hour before serving.

Notes

Notes: Two notes about the cheese:
  • I used 8 oz of mild cheddar and 8 oz of sharp cheddar
  • I think that it's important to freshly shred/grate your own cheese versus using the pre-shredded bagged stuff. It tastes better, has a better texture, and is cheaper!
