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.

AUNT LORI'S CHEESE BALL PINWHEELS
Aunt Lori always has the best cheese ball. Instead of serving it in traditional cheese ball style she would spread it in flour tortillas, roll them & cut them in to pinwheel slices. Much easier when you are on the go with them.

- Cream butter with cheese. Add flour, salt and paprika. Place cut up sausage (cooked) in the middle of cheese balls. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes.
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.
