Instructions
Bring cream cheese to room temperature or soften in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.
Grate cheddar cheese(I used mild) and set aside.
Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl of a mixer.
Cream until completely smooth and add in seasonings and mayo, mixing well.
Drain the red pepper strips on paper towels, after chopping, I squeeze out the excess moisture with paper towels if needed.
Stir in the chopped red peppers and cream cheese until well blended.
