Instructions

1
Begin by grating 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Colby Jack cheese on the large holes of a box grater to ensure a smooth texture in your dip.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 oz of room temperature cream cheese until soft and smooth. Mix in ⅓ cup of mayonnaise until fully combined and creamy.
3
Fold in the grated cheeses, 1 jar (4 oz) of drained diced pimentos, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Stir vigorously until the mixture is cohesive but still chunky.
4
Season the mixture generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
5
When ready to serve, transfer the pimento cheese dip to a serving bowl and enjoy it with crackers, celery sticks, carrot sticks, or smear it on toasted bread for a delicious pimento cheese sandwich.
