Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
  • 16 oz Sharp Cheddar finely shredded
  • 4 oz Pimentos drained
  • 2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • Combine all ingredients in bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Stir on medium speed for at least 3 minutes. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
  • Pour into serving dish. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

Notes

Optional: I like to refrigerate and eat the next day. The coolness of the fridge makes the spread more firm. Keeps for one week in an airtight container.
Optional: Serve with crackers, pretzels, carrots, or celery. Also, pimento cheese is a great spread for grilled cheese sandwiches.
