• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1-2 jalapeño pepper(s), seeded and diced (use based on your heat preference)
• 4 oz. jar diced pimentos, drained
• ¾ c. Duke's mayonnaise
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• ½ tsp. garlic powder
• ½ tsp. onion powder
• ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes

How to Make Jalapeño Bacon Pimento Cheese

1. In a bowl, stir together cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Fold in bacon and diced jalapeno.
2. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with artisan crackers, biscuits, carrots/celery, on top of a burger... get creative!

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

1. Adjust the spice level through the inclusion of the fresh jalapeños. Start with one and add another if you want a bigger kick!
2. I'm a southerner, so I must say: your choice of mayonnaise matters. Opt for Duke's mayonnaise for its distinctive tangy flavor, which enhances the overall taste of the dip. I'm a Duke's loyalist!
