Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 c Sharp Cheddar shredded/freshly grated
  • 1 c Monterey Jack shredded/freshly grated
  • 1 c Pepper jack Cheese shredded/freshly grated
  • 1 c Duke's Mayonnaise more to taste
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese
  • 6 tbsp Diced Pimentos
  • 2 tablespoon Vidalia Onion grated
  • Garlic Powder to taste
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix until well-incorporated. I typically make mine in my stand mixer!

  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
