She borrowed the recipe from a co-worker at the telephone company YEARS ago and has adopted it as her own. Easy. Quick. DELISH.

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.

Provided by Aletha Flanagan

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pkg 8 oz cream cheese
1 can(s) pineapple (you will use 8 oz but they do not sell them in 8 oz cans)
2 Tbsp celery seeds
2 Tbsp minced white onions
1 Tbsp seasoning salt

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cream cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cheese ball.
  • Be sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to create a smooth and creamy cheese ball.
