Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup mayo
  • 2 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1-2 jalapeños, small diced seeds and membrane removed
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar pimentos drained
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • To Taste pepper
  • 1 pinch garlic powder
  • 1 dash worcestershire sauce
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.

Instructions
 

  • With a mixer beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.  Mix in the mayo and cream until fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients.  Mix until well combined.  Taste and add more jalapeño if desired.
  • Serve immediately for a smoother cheese spread.  Or chill to shape into a cheese ball.  Enjoy!
