Ingredients
1 block sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 block mild cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayo
4 oz pimentos
1 jar-worth pimento juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 dashes hot sauce
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened

pepper (optional)
garlic powder (optional)
onion powder (optional)
smoke paprika (optional)
Aleppo pepper (optional)

Tips
Always shred your own cheese as pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that hinder creaminess.
Omit the pimento juice if you prefer a less creamy consistency.
Add diced pickled jalapeños for a spicy variation.
Substitute crushed red pepper for Aleppo pepper if desired.
