Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• Half of an onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 ounces diced jarred pimentos
• 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 to 1 cup milk 
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Melt the butter in a skillet. Add onion and cook and stir until translucent. Add garlic; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add pimentos and season with salt and pepper.
