Step 1

In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and mayonnaise. Using a spatula or a hand mixer on low speed, mix until well combined.

Step 2

Stir in the shredded cheddar and finely diced pimento until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Sprinkle the onion powder and garlic powder into the cheese mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and if you prefer a kick, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Store your pimento cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld together. It can be served as a spread on crackers, as a filling in sandwiches, or as a dip with vegetables like celery sticks, carrots, and bell peppers.
