Homemade Pimento Cheese Dip
Description
Pimento cheese dip is a delicious, creamy, and cheesy dip studded with diced pickled pimento peppers. I like to make it spicy with a minced jalapenos and cayenne pepper.
Ingredients:
- 1 jar pimento peppers (4-oz jar)
- 2 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese (Shredded, 1 pound)
- 1 block cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 jalapeño, optional (minced)
Instructions:
Drain pimento peppers. Finely dice.
Shred 1 pound, a block, of extra sharp cheddar cheese.
Combine all ingredients into a medium bowl and mix with a wooden spoon, fork, or using an electric mixer.
Enjoy with chips, crackers, or halved-mini bell peppers!
