Peggy's Holiday Cheese Dip image

If a generation had a dip to represent it, this easy appetizer would be the 1970s. At the time, all these ingredients were staples in the kitchen. One bite of this, and we felt like we should be sitting around a table playing bridge. Pimento spread has a processed cheese flavor similar to Velveeta. There's a subtle flavor from...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 jar(s) Kraft pimento spread (5 oz) (This can sometimes be tricky to find. If your grocer doesn't carry this specific brand or flavor, ask them to get some in for you or try a different store)
1 can(s) Underwood deviled ham spread (4.25 oz)
2-3 Tbsp mayonnaise (your choice, we always used Hellman's)
3-4 dash(es) Lea & Perrin's Worcestershire sauce
1-2 dash(es) Tabasco sauce (optional, but recommended)

Steps:

  • 1. Empty the 4 jars of pimento cheese spread into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Best to use a slim spatula or spreading knife to get it all from the sides and bottom.
  • 2. Add the deviled ham and turn loosely with a fork to get the ham blended evenly with the cheese.
  • 3. Add the mayonnaise. You may want to experiment with the amount. Less mayo makes the dip sharper with a stiffer consistency; more will make it creamier with a looser consistency. I've had my best results with 2 heaping tablespoons as I like it a bit sharper in flavor.
  • 4. Add the Worcestershire. There's no precise measurement here, 3 or 4 shakes of a Lea & Perrins bottle probably yields about a teaspoon or so.
  • 5. We always like to add just a dash of Tabasco, although this step is entirely optional. To be honest, I saw mom add the Tabasco one day when I was about 15, to which I protested and asked her just to make it "the usual way". She confessed she had always added it, even when I was a child; she just never let me see her do it. So, you don't need much. A little goes a long way, just enough to add a little kick is nice.
  • 6. Blend well. You can use a fork, but I like to use a hand-mixer. The deviled ham is a bit hard to blend in without it. Mix for 2 or 3 minutes.
  • 7. Also optional: I always chill in the fridge for an hour or so. Serve and enjoy!
