This one is for all you ladies.
Now, don't get me wrong, men can love a good cheeseball too, but let's be honest, it's usually the ladies that end up
hanging around the cheeseball and crackers.

As everyone is gearing up for their big (or small) Super Bowl parties, we will probably be making all kinds of wings and dips and chili. However, try adding this little cheeseball to your spread (get it? spread? tap, tap is this thing on?).
It's not just great to make for football parties but any kind of get together where snack food will be appreciated.
And, you can also make this 2-3 days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
Who doesn't love that?
Did I just sound like Ina Garten there? Yes, yes I did. I'm on a roll today folks (get it? I'm on a roll? cheeseballs are round, get it? okay, I obviously won't make it on the comedy circuit).

Allow cheeseballs to set up in the fridge (at least 2-4 hours). This lets the flavors meld together a bit.
These cheeseballs will keep in your fridge for about 4-5 days so they are great to make in advance.

ReplyDeleteBrandie, so love your site. Am making your cheeseball right now. Thought you might like to try the other one I am making. Garlic Cheese Logs....1 pkg cream cheese, 5 cloves garlic finely chopped, 2 cups any cheese grated (I use either cheddar or swiss, 1 to 3 dashes Tabasco. Mix well and roll into 2 logs. I now take 1 cup of finely chopped pecans and roll the logs in the pecans.
ReplyDeleteMary - thank you SO much. I'm definitely gonna have to make that. It sounds amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI make this same cheeseball and mine makes 2, so I always have nearly a whole left, yummmm! Try adding a little bit of seasoned salt to the mix (to taste) and you will be surprised. It takes away from the sweet and really adds to it.
ReplyDeleteI make dis every year this a famiy recipes from many years but I never add the worchertrin sauce...its great easy and simple to make
