- 1. Using a stand or hand mixer on medium speed beat your cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of the ingredients you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cheese ball. Use a good quality cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and spices.
- Don't overmix the cheese ball. Overmixing can make the cheese ball tough and crumbly. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Chill the cheese ball before serving. Chilling the cheese ball will help it to firm up and make it easier to handle and serve.
- Garnish the cheese ball with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include chopped nuts, crumbled bacon, or fresh herbs.
