BACON-OLIVE CHEESE BALL



Bacon-Olive Cheese Ball image

My husband had to take a bacon dish to work for a luncheon, so I took my favorite cheese ball recipe and added bacon and a few other ingredients to it. It was a hit at the luncheon and was gone in a few minutes. I didn't measure the ingredients as I made the cheese ball, so I am "guesstimating" some of these ingredients. As for the seasonings, you can change them to your taste preference, but I would not recommend adding anything else with salt because of the olives and bacon that are already in the recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounce(s) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup(s) salad olives with pimentos
2 or 3 dash(es) onion powder

2/3 - 1 cup(s) shredded cheddar cheese

  • Remove the ball from the freezer, reshape the ball and roll in pecan pieces until covered. Refrigerate in airtight container. Remove from refrigerator approx 1 hour before serving. Serve with Club, Ritz, or your favorite cracker.
