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.

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)

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.
