OLD SCHOOL CHEESE BALL



Old School Cheese Ball image

Gotta love this recipe. . .totally from a past generation, but not forgotten. I make this frequently and got the recipe from a co-worker named Karen about 8 years ago. Simple, yet a crowd-pleaser; the kids will even eat it! I have frozen this cheese ball with great results, so feel free to make 1 for now and 1 for later - just don't roll it in nuts until it has been thawed out.

Time 10m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (not low fat or non-fat because it needs to be thick)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft Old English cheese spread (sometimes I add an extra jar of this and make it into 2 balls)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft roka blue spread
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Let all three cheeses get to room temperature.
  • With a blender, mix together all ingredients EXCEPT the nuts.
  • Shape into 1 or 2 balls (I always do 2 so that there are more nuts to go around).
  • Roll each cheese ball in nuts, place on a piece of waxed paper and put in the fridge to set up.
  • Serve with buttery crackers on the side.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cheese ball will taste.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help it to blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the cheese ball. Overmixing can make it tough and rubbery.
  • Chill the cheese ball for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help it to firm up and make it easier to handle.
  • Serve the cheese ball with a variety of crackers, vegetables, and fruits. This will allow your guests to enjoy it in different ways.

Conclusion:

Grandma's cheese ball is a classic party appetizer that is always a hit. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive dish that will be enjoyed by everyone.
