1950'S CHEESE BALL

This recipe was in a Beaumont, Texas, utility company Christmas recipe leaflet from 1951. We've been making it in our family ever since then. I broke many a wooden spoon over the years trying to mix it all together - now the food processor makes it a snap to mix in 15 minutes or less!

2 - 8 oz pkg shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 c mayonnaise
3 green onions, roughly chopped
2-3 tsp minced garlic
1/4 c sweet pickle relish
1 small jar(s) diced pimento
1/2 c chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients except cheddar in bowl of food processor until smooth. Add cheddar and pulse until well combined.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh cheese, sharp cheddar, and flavorful herbs will make all the difference in the taste of your cheese ball.
  • Don't overmix the cheese ball. Overmixing will make the cheese ball tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the cheese ball before serving. This will help it to firm up and make it easier to shape and slice.
  • Garnish the cheese ball with chopped nuts, herbs, or crumbled bacon. This will add flavor and visual appeal.
  • Serve the cheese ball with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
