Description
A delicious, southern dip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Lb. Extra sharp Cheddar shredded, Use the highest quality you can find, I used Tillamook Vintage White aged 2 years
- 4 Ounces Cream cheese softened
- ½ Cup Mayonnaise, you can sub in yogurt here if you prefer
- 1 Jar 4oz. Pimento’s finely chopped
- ½ Teaspoon onion powder
- ½ Teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ Teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ Teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- Optional ½ Teaspoon Chipotle powder for additional heat and a smoky touch
Instructions
- Use an electric mixer to get the ingredients fully incorporated. Just let the cream cheese come to room temperature for ease of mixing.
- Combine all of the ingredients in the mixer and fully blend. Some recipes call for salt, but I would taste the dip before adjusting any seasoning as the Cheddar does add a salt component.
- Make the dip ahead of time and refrigerate it so it firms up. Serve with your favorite crackers, lavosh or some lightly toasted artisan sourdough.
