Description

Ingredients

• 4 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese, lightly packed (about 12 ounces)
• 1 (4-ounce) jar diced pimento, drained
• 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ teaspoon Tobasco
• dash of seasoned salt
• Fresh ground black pepperserve with crackers or vegetables

Directions

• Shred the cheese on a large box grater and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the drained pimento and set aside.
• Blend together the mayonnaise, cream cheese, cayenne, Tobasco, pepper and seasoned salt until smooth and creamy. I used a small food processor that came with my stick blender to blend these ingredients. Works great!
• Add the mayonnaise mixture to the cheese and blend with a spatula until combined.
• Chill until served.
