AUNT ANNIE'S CHEESE BALL
I'm asked to bring this to every family function. This is my great aunt's recipe and when she could no longer make it, I took over. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. You can use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese for this, but it will not get hard and form a ball. If you make it with low-fat ingredients, place the mixture in a bowl or decorative crock and top with crushed pecans. Cook time does not include chill time.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cheese balls will taste. Use real cheddar cheese, not a processed cheese product. And use fresh herbs and spices for the best flavor.
- Chill the cheese mixture before forming the balls. This will help the cheese balls hold their shape better.
- Coat the cheese balls in breadcrumbs or crushed crackers before frying. This will help them get crispy and golden brown.
- Fry the cheese balls until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the cheese balls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They are best enjoyed warm and gooey.
