SOUTHERN MADE CHEESE BALL

This delicious cheese ball was developed and modified by me, and every time I serve it I am forced to share the recipe with everyone who tastes it. I roll mine in diced green onion, pecans (or other nuts) or bacon bits before serving. Try experimenting with different types of meats and cheeses. It's a great appetizer for any party. This one will be gone first. Enjoy!

SOUTHERN CHEESE BALL

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!
