PAULA DEEN'S PIMENTO CHEESE
This Southern classic is adapted from a recipe by Paula Deen, the television chef, cookbook author and restaurateur, but pimento cheese has long been indispensable for parties, gatherings and afternoon feasts. The heat from the garlic powder and grated onion cuts through the creaminess of the cheese and mayonnaise, and the pimentos give it an unforgettable punch. Serve it with celery, or spread on your favorite crackers or sandwich bread. It's a creamy, cheesy crowd-pleaser.

Steps:
- Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. Add more mayonnaise as needed to make mixture hold together.
