Pimento spread

I love pimento spread I guess it's suppose to be a really southern thing to eat but I have no idea why. This is my recipe it is so easy and only takes like 5 minutes to whip up. I guess you could make everything like the mayonnaise and all from scratch if you liked but I always try to go the simpler route.

Jared pimento peppers
package of cream cheese
course shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Mayonnaise
garlic powder
salt
Cheyenne pepper
onion powder

Let the cream cheese soften, then mash with a fork so it is even softer add the chopped pimento's and seasonings to taste. You could go with paprika if you don't like spicy foods but to give it a good flavor I like the Cheyenne. Add a little cheddar at a time it should be equal Cheddar to cream cheese. You want it to be easily spreadable so... add as much mayonnaise as needed to achieve that. Usually a table spoon or so. In the end it should look orange between the cheddar and the Cheyenne. Let it chill about an hour and spread on crackers sandwiches or what ever floats your boat.
