- 2 cups grated extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces 1 block regular cream cheese, at room temperature (cut into cubes for easier mixing)
- 2 medium sized pimentos roasted, skins removed, diced

- salt to taste see tips above
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix all of the spices and mayonnaise together.
- Add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese and diced pimentos.
- Mix by hand, or on a low setting with your stand mixer or food processor. You want the dip to have some texture, NOT be creamy and smooth.
- You can serve this dip immediately. If you're serving it later, put it in the fridge...then take it out about 10 - 15 minutes before you wish to serve it.
- Enjoy!
