Fancy Pimento Cheese

20 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese

½ cup minced fresh chives

½ cup minced roasted red pepper

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

¼ cup dill pickle juice

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Cholula®)

1 pinch ground black pepper

Using the smallest holes of a box grater, grate half the Cheddar cheese. Grate the remaining Cheddar cheese on the next larger size holes.

Stir together the Cheddar cheese, chives, roasted red pepper, cream cheese, pickle juice, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, and black pepper in a bowl until evenly combined.
