Ingredients

• 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
• 4 oz Cream Cheese

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, well-drained pimentos, minced jalapeño (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce (if using).
3. Mix everything together thoroughly with a spoon or sturdy spatula until all ingredients are well combined. Do not overmix, as it can make the cheese greasy.

5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or preferably an hour) to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Serve chilled or at room temperature with a variety of crackers, toasted bread, or vegetable sticks.
