The best pimento cheese EVER! Trust me on this!

Courtesy of the multi-talented Lucy Kempf, I bring you the most amazing pimento cheese recipe on Earth.  Seriously, I had it for the first time last weekend, and not only did I eat an entire bowl-full, I thought about it all week and tracked down her email address to find the recipe.  It is SO good!

Makes approximately 6 cups

The main ingredients are below, but each can be adjusted to personal
taste.  Experiment!

Ingredients
6 ounces of packaged cream cheese
2 1/4 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 1/4 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons pimentos from a jar, smashed
2 teaspoons grated white onion
1/4 heaping teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 heaping teaspoon of pepper

Additional Cracked black pepper (to taste)


Directions
Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature.  Beat cream cheese
with an electric mixer until fluffy. Blend all of the remaining
ingredients with the mixer.  Season cracked pepper to taste.  Serve
with plain chips or on bread.

*Folks, this pimento cheese is so good, I highly recommend making a double or triple batch and creating an entire menu around it - pimento cheeseburgers, grilled pimento cheese sandwiches, and bacon-egg-and-pimento cheese breakfast burritos all sound fabulous!!!!
