Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4 oz) jar of pimentos, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
  2. Add the chopped pimentos, shredded cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a smokier flavor, you can add more smoked paprika or Worcestershire sauce to suit your preference.
  4. Cover the dip and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. The longer it sits, the better the flavor!
  5. When ready to serve, give the dip a quick stir and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
  6. Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, or raw vegetables like carrots and celery. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you want to add an extra layer of flavor, try roasting your own red peppers for a more intense smoky taste.
  • For a creamier dip, add more cream cheese or sour cream to adjust the consistency to your liking.
  • This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making it an ideal dish for parties or gatherings.
  • If you’re looking for extra texture, you can fold in some chopped green onions or a handful of cooked, crumbled bacon before serving.
