- Make sure the pimentos are diced already, saves so much time.
- I have softened cream cheese, or else it won’t mix well. You can get a creamy base by using a stand mixer to mix the cream cheese by itself first, and then fold in other ingredients if you want.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings to make it as mellow or bold as you want.
- Feel free to double, triple, etc. this recipe. Make it adjust want you need for servings.
