BACON CHEDDAR CHEESE BALL SPREAD



Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball Spread image

After looking at many cheese ball recipes that didn't fit my family's tastes, I made one up to serve on New Year's Eve. Everyone loved and it was super simple to put together. I didn't roll my cheese ball in chopped nuts, but you could certainly do that or even roll it in additional crumbled bacon.

Provided by Karen..

Categories     Spreads

Time 10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces cream cheese, softened (I used light cream cheese)
1 -1 1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (I used Cabot's Seriously Sharp)
5 -6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chives (or 1 tbl or so snipped fresh chives)
1 dash hot sauce
1 dash garlic powder
chopped pecans (optional) or walnuts (optional)
additional crumbled cooked bacon (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a med-large size bowl.
  • If your cream cheese is soft enough, you can stir this by hand or you can use a hand-mixer until well combined.
  • Spoon out onto plastic wrap big enough to fold over top and form cheese mixture into a smooth bowl, wrapping plastic wrap around ball to seal.
  • (If desired, roll cheese ball into chopped nuts or additional cooked and crumbled bacon before wrapping.).
  • Place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours so flavors blend.
  • Serve with crackers, bagel chips, veggies, etc.

LINDY'S BACON AND ONION CHEESE SPREAD



Lindy's Bacon and Onion Cheese Spread image

This is a wonderful bacon and onion cheese spread (not dip) that is great for parties and year-round use. For Christmas, I shape this into a tree shape, on a flat tray. I sprinkle the trunk of the tree with crisp bacon and the tree itself with finely chopped green onion tops or chives. I have also shaped it into a cross for my children's confirmation parties, a Christmas stocking, and even a heart for a special Valentine's Day party. If you substitute creamy salad dressing for the mayonnaise it will not be the same. My mom tried that and it didn't turn out well. This is best made the day before and chilled. My family and friends all love this; it's one of those dishes that I have to make for every holiday and get-together.
