Best 7 Ham Cheddar Cheese Ball Recipes

HAM AND CHEDDAR CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Set your cream cheese out for about an hour before you mix this cheese ball together. It is much easier to make this recipe if your cream cheese is soft.
• Place cream cheese, ham, cheddar cheese, garlic salt, onion powder, green onions in a mixing bowl. (I like to add mine to my kitchen aide and mix with the paddle, It makes this recipe so easy!)
• Beat together until ingredients are mixed.
• Using a spatula, shape into a round ball. (You can use your hands if you'd like but the rubber spatula works almost just as well and you don't have to get your hands dirty.)
• Toast the nuts in a pan on medium heat on the stovetop. Roll in toasted pecans until evenly covered.
• Cover with plastic wrap until needed. When you're ready to serve it, lay on a platter with your favorite buttery crackers and veggies. Enjoy!
