Easy Pimento Cheese

8 Ounces Shredded Cheddar Cheese
8 Ounces Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
4 Ounce Jar Diced Pimentos
1/2 Medium Red Onion -- diced
1 Cup Mayonnaise -- or more if needed
3 Cloves Garlic -- finely minced
1 Teaspoon Hot Smoked Paprika
1/2 Teaspoon Celery Seed
Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper to Taste

In a medium bowl, combine cheeses, pimentos (with juice), onion, mayonnaise, paprika and celery seed. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.


NOTES : This is wonderful for sandwiches (recommend white bread). I didn't have hot smoked paprika, so I added a pinch or two of cayenne pepper. Turned out great!
