OLD SCHOOL CHEESE BALL



Old School Cheese Ball image

Gotta love this recipe. . .totally from a past generation, but not forgotten. I make this frequently and got the recipe from a co-worker named Karen about 8 years ago. Simple, yet a crowd-pleaser; the kids will even eat it! I have frozen this cheese ball with great results, so feel free to make 1 for now and 1 for later - just don't roll it in nuts until it has been thawed out.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (not low fat or non-fat because it needs to be thick)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft Old English cheese spread (sometimes I add an extra jar of this and make it into 2 balls)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft roka blue spread
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Let all three cheeses get to room temperature.
  • With a blender, mix together all ingredients EXCEPT the nuts.
  • Shape into 1 or 2 balls (I always do 2 so that there are more nuts to go around).
  • Roll each cheese ball in nuts, place on a piece of waxed paper and put in the fridge to set up.
  • Serve with buttery crackers on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: Combining different types of cheeses, such as cheddar, cream cheese, and Parmesan, creates a more complex and flavorful cheese ball.
  • Add mix-ins: Incorporate various ingredients like chopped nuts, crumbled bacon, or diced vegetables to enhance the texture and taste of the cheese ball.
  • Chill thoroughly: Make sure to chill the cheese ball for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and firm up the consistency.
  • Serve with crackers or bread: Offer a variety of accompaniments, such as crackers, bread, vegetables, or fruit, to complement the cheese ball.
  • Garnish elegantly: Sprinkle fresh herbs, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of olive oil on top of the cheese ball for an elegant presentation.

Conclusion:

Creating a classic cheese ball is an art form that combines the perfect blend of cheeses, mix-ins, and seasonings. With careful attention to detail and a touch of creativity, you can craft a cheese ball that will be the star of any gathering. Whether you prefer a simple two-ingredient cheese ball or a more elaborate creation adorned with toppings, there's a cheese ball recipe out there to suit every taste.
