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.

Categories     Spreads

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)
5 -6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
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.
