SOUTHERN CHEESE BALL

Southern Cheese Ball image

Classic Cheeseball with a Southern Twist! You can make this as hot or as mild as you wish by adjusting the amount of jalapeno's you use, if any. I use green bell pepper's, but the red and orange bell peppers change the flavor just a little. I also serve it with Trisket, and Ritz crackers. We make this the night before we're going to eat it. The flavors are so much better after it is refrigerated overnight!
