Hot Pimento Cheese Kale Dip Party in a Bowl!

Pimento Cheese Kale Dip recipe is a party in a bowl combining cheddar cheese, kale and sautéed red peppers. Easy to make ahead, then heat before serving.

Once upon I time, I wanted a dip so I looked in the fridge and started combining things and it was so amazing I wanted to share the recipe with everyone. The End.

Well, that is pretty much what happened. It started out as kale dip. And then I noticed the pretty bell peppers in the crisper. And then I just went all in and make a combination of two of my favorites: kale dip and pimento cheese.

If you don't have fresh bell peppers, just chop up some roasted red peppers and add them just before baking instead of sautéing them with the kale and onion.
