Wanna know the secret to the BEST pimento cheese…

CREAM CHEESE! Whipped to perfection and gives the most flavorful bite. Pimento cheese is so versatile – it can be enjoyed simply between two slices of bread or (my fav) a dip! Pretzels, pita chips, Ritz crackers, etc…I mean I could go on and on. But for whatever reason my go to has always been Club crackers. They are just too dang good! I could eat them forever. If i die young bury me in Club crackers.

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder (Trader Joe’s is the only place you should ever buy this)
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup mayo (Hellman’s! Anything else is sacrilegious)
7 oz jar pimento peppers, drained & rough chopped
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1. In a medium sized bowl, beat cream cheese with hand mixer until you get a fluffy, whipped texture
2. Stir in seasonings, Mayo, pimento peppers and cheddar cheese
3. Beat everything all together and you’re done! Do not overbeat, we don’t wanna pulverize those lil pimento peppers

And that’s it! 3 steps and you’re done. Chill in the fridge until about 30 minutes prior to serving. I usually let it sit out on the counter to soften up a little so it’s easier to spread/dip into.

Oh and don’t forget the club crackers! ;)
