Ingredients

• 8 oz sharp freshly grated cheddar cheese
• 6 oz cream softened cheese
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• ¼ cup roasted red bell peppers diced and patted completely dry with a paper towel
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Drain the peppers: Pat the diced roasted red peppers dry with a paper towel to remove extra moisture.
2. Mix the thick base: Beat the 6 oz of softened cream cheese and 1 tbsp of mayonnaise in a bowl until smooth and firm.
3. Season: Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Fold in solids: Stir in the grated sharp cheddar and dried red peppers until thick and uniform.
5. Chill to set: Refrigerate the bowl for at least 1 hour so the cream cheese firms up completely.
