No Southern appetizer table is complete without a cheese ball. Perfectly paired with crackers or veggies, a traditional cheese ball with Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and a kick of Worcestershire sauce is an easy crowd-pleaser. This recipe comes to us from the Mama of Charlie Muncaster, half of country music duo Muscadine Bloodline. This cheese ball is special to Charlie because of the nostalgia associated with it: "Mom and I used to make this for neighborhood parties together. I always enjoyed slicing and dicing with my mother. She always made me do it because she was terrible with a knife!"
