Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup diced pimentos, drained
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the diced pimentos, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if desired), salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, bread, fresh vegetables, or tortilla chips.
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, use smoked cheddar or add a pinch of smoked paprika.
- This dip pairs beautifully with celery sticks, carrots, or pretzels for a crunchy contrast.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a heartier version, add crumbled bacon or finely diced jalapeños.
