Cheddar Cheese Ball
Creamy, sharp, and rolled in chopped nuts, my Aunt Judy's cheese ball is a homemade winner that puts every store-bought version to shame.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl and sprinkle garlic powder over the cream cheese. Add the Worcestershire sauce. Mix again until well combined, about 1 minute.
- Add the cheese and mix again. Spread plastic wrap on the counter and scoop the cheese mixture onto it. Form into a ball with the spatula.
- Place the chopped nuts on a small plate. Gently roll the cheeseball in the nuts to coat it completely. Wrap the finished cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Remove from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers and fresh vegetables.
