How to Make Bacon Pimiento Cheese

1. Cook 1/2 pound bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
2. Crumble cooked bacon into small pieces.
3. In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces cream cheese (softened), 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 (4 ounce) can chopped pimientos (drained), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4. Gently stir in the crumbled bacon until well combined.
5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
