Serves | Prep Time | Cook TimeWhy I Love This Recipe
I think the original recipe was a kraft copycat recipe but got changed along the way w/ each new cooks tastes. Like me I used colby cheese instead of cheddar. My dad Bill Fankhauser was the 1st one to show me pimento spread on ritz crackers!
Ingredients You'll Need

Jar pimento peppers strained or fresh well ripened pimentos diced
Opt: Shake or 2 of garlic powder
Opt: dash hot sauce
Opt: dash of cayenne powder
Opt: dash worcestershire sauce

*NOTE: The kraft copycat only calls for cream cheese, sugar and pimentos creamed together
