1 t. finely minced garlic
2 t. Worcestershire sauce, optional
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1/2 t. freshly ground pepper

Drain pimentos. In a large bowl combine cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, pimentos, and all seasonings. Blend together mashing and stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
