In a medium mixing bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1/4 cup Miracle Whip, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste) with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently stir in 1 (5 ounce) can tuna, drained, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve chilled on crackers, toast points, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy! Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups.
