Cheese Balls

Mexican ball and bacon chedder.

Cheese balls are surprisingly easy to make. I don't know why anyone ever buys one. Here is my favorite recipe for cheese balls and best of all you can adapt it to your taste.

 

8oz package of cream cheese

2cups of shredded cheese

1/4 teaspoon of westchestershire sauce

 

Soften the cream cheese add the shredded cheese and the sauce and mix. Form a ball with plastic wrap and then refrigerate till hard.

That's it. That is all.

What I do is very these ingredients to make the different flavors. You can use different cheeses. Any soft cheese and any shredable cheese will do. You can add spices. You can add savory things like onion, bacon, vegetables. You could even add dried fruit if you wanted.

I don't know how they get the port wine flavored balls I would guess you would just add port wine and use more stiff cheese and less creamy cheese.

 

I like to decorate the outside of the ball by rolling it in nuts or spices. The profesional ones always have nuts on the outside or you can also use paprika or parsley.

 

When done with them be sure to wrap them tight and refrigerate so the ball will be nice and hard for serving.
