AUNT ANNIE'S CHEESE BALL



Aunt Annie's Cheese Ball image

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.

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon paprika
