The Best Cheese Ball
Servings: 12 -16 servings
I had no idea that a cheese ball could be this good. Last year I had the best cheese ball I ever had and now I get to share how crazy easy this appetizer is!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese Softened (2 of the 8 ounce cream cheese boxes)
- 1 Jar Kraft Old English Sharp Cheese found by the crackers
- 1 1/2 Cups Grated Medium Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Scant Teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1 Scant Teaspoon Onion Salt
- 2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
- 2 Heaping Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 Cups Pecans
- 1 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley chopped
- Crackers for serving
Instructions
- Finely chop the pecans and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir together until smooth.
- Form into a ball and place on a large piece of saran wrap.
- Place the cheese in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm back up. You can prepare this up to 48 hours ahead of time and leave it like this until you're ready to serve.
- Meanwhile, mix the chopped pecans and parsley together and place on a plate.
- Unroll the cheese ball and place in the nuts. Roll to cover and shape with your hands if necessary to keep the shape.
- Serve immediately or store for a few hours in the fridge.
