This ‘Southern Spread’ vanishes in seconds—I’ve had to triple the recipe just to keep up with the compliments!

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese.
Add the diced pimentos, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
Stir everything together until well combined and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your choice of sides.
Variations & Tips
For a milder version, omit the cayenne pepper. If you have picky eaters, consider blending the dip to a smoother consistency. You can also add a touch of sweetness by mixing in a tablespoon of sweet pickle relish. For a smoky twist, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika. If you’re a fan of spice, finely chop a jalapeño and mix it in for an extra kick. This dip is versatile, so feel free to experiment and make it your own!
