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.

1 dash hot sauce
1 dash garlic powder
chopped pecans (optional) or walnuts (optional)
additional crumbled cooked bacon (optional)

Steps:

  • 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.

Use brick cream cheese for a spread, or spreadable cream cheese for a dip. Serve with crispy crackers, toast, or bagels.
