Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (preferably extra-sharp)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (Duke’s or Hellmann’s for the best flavor)
  • 4 oz jar diced pimentos, drained
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • â…› tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for mild heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Prepare ingredients: Drain the pimentos well so the mixture stays thick and creamy.
  2. Mix: In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir until creamy: Mix well until fully combined. Adjust seasoning to taste — more mayo for creaminess, more cheese for thickness.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors blend.
  5. Serve: Spread on biscuits, sandwiches, burgers, or serve as a dip with crackers and veggies.

Notes

Tips

  • Use freshly shredded cheese (pre-shredded has anti-caking agents that change texture).
  • Add a touch of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños for extra heat.
  • Try it on a toasted Bojangles-style biscuit for the full experience!
