Here is a recipe for cheese balls. My aunt has made these at Christmas for many years, and they are always a hit. This is the traditional version of the recipe, but feel free to change it up a bit with different types of cheese, etc. Let us know in the comments section what makes your cheese balls special if you make these!
INGREDIENTS:
- 8 ounces of Cream Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons of onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of garlic powder OR salt
- 1/2 a cup of Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tablespoon of Milk
- Pecans, finely chooped (enough to coat the outside of the cheese ball)
DIRECTIONS:
Mix softened cream cheese and all the rest of the ingredients, except for the pecans, until they are blended well. Shape into a ball and roll in the chopped pecans. Place in a tightly closed container and let stand in refrigerator at least 8 hours. Let it stand longer let’s the flavors blend even more and improves the taste.
This is a recipe you could easily make a few days ahead of your even and keep in the refrigerator.
