how to make pimento cheese dip

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to bake the bacon.

Gather the ingredients: sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sea salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, Duke's Mayo, and diced pimentos.

Cube the cream cheese to make it easier to mix.

Drain the juice from the diced pimentos and chop them if they are not already chopped.

In a bowl, add the cubed cream cheese and the diced pimentos.

Add sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients together until well combined, using a wooden spoon or a hand mixer.

Add about 2 tablespoons of Duke's Mayo to the mixture and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

Taste the pimento cheese dip and adjust seasoning if necessary, then refrigerate it to harden while the bacon cooks.

Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, checking on it occasionally.

Prepare the bread for the grilled cheese sandwiches by spreading Duke's Mayo on one side of each slice.

On the non-Mayo side, spread a couple of teaspoons of the pimento cheese mixture.

Add two pieces of bacon on top of the pimento cheese and cover with another slice of bread, Mayo side up.

Heat a pan over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan, toasting until golden brown and the cheese is melty.

Flip the sandwich to toast the other side until golden brown.

Repeat the process to make additional sandwiches.
