NUTTY BACON CHEESE BALL image

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup finely minced green onions (white part only)
1 jar diced pimento, drained
3/4 cup pecans, divided (Of course, any nut will do!)
10 slices bacon, cooked, drained, finely crumbled and divided
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (I leave these out!)

Steps:

  • Place cream cheese in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and flat beater to mixer. Turn to Speed Two and mix 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl. Turn to Speed Two and gradually add milk, mixing until well blended about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl. Add cheeses, onions, pimientos, half of the bacon and half the pecans. Turn to Speed 4 and beat until well blended, about another minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer mixture to a large piece of plastic wrap. Form into a ball and wrap tightly. Refrigerate (or freeze) at least 2 hours. Combine the remaining bacon and remaining pecans, parsley and poppy seeds in a pie plate. Then, remove the plastic wrap and roll the cheese ball lightly in the bacon/nut mixture until evenly coated. Wrap it back up in plastic wrap and refrigerate again until ready to use.

This cheese ball is a great make-ahead appetizer. I made it the day before my party and it was still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cheese ball turned out perfect. It was creamy and flavorful, and the bacon and nuts added a nice crunch.

This cheese ball is a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it with a different type of cheese next time.
