I love making my own variations of Pimento Cheese Spread and using Garlic Chile Sauce came to me as I was using it in another dish and saw it sitting on the countertop, just that simple. It's not your traditional Pimento cheese spread, but I actually prefer it better than the typical ones because I love the heat, and the simplicity.

yield 3 -4 cups
prep time 10 Min
method No-Cook or Other
