Pimientos are a variety of red peppers. These are found in the canned veggie area of the store.  Sorry about the date on there.  I add an easy-to-see expiration on my pantry items.

Combine cheese and pimientos. I add a couple of large spoonfuls of mayonnaise. Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper and a bigger sprinkle of paprika.
