The Best Cheeseball image

Super simple and delicious. I made 1 cheeseball, but this recipe makes 4 cheeseballs. Feel free to cut the recipe back if you don't want quite that much delicious cheeseball floating around. I have a friend who makes this for Christmas gifts. Serving size is estimated. Recipe courtesy of My Kitchen Cafe.

Time 15m

Yield 4 cheeseballs, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

32 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 cup pecans, finely chopped for rolling

Steps:

  • Place finely chopped pecans in a shallow dish and set aside.
  • In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), mix the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add the cheddar cheese and mix until just combined.
  • Lightly sprinkle all the seasonings and sauces over the cheese mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • With lightly greased hands, portion the cheese mixture into 4 pieces and roll each section into a round ball.
  • Coat in pecans.
  • The easiest way to do this is to hold the cheeseball in one and and scoop up the pecans and press them onto the cheeseball with the other, turning the cheeseball as you go and letting the excess pecans fall back into the dish (this helps the pecans go farther).
  • Cover each cheeseball in saran wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This cheeseball was a disappointment. It was too bland and didn't have much flavor. I won't be making it again.

This cheeseball is the best I've ever had. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the cranberries add a nice tartness. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheeseball turned out really dry. I think I might have overmixed it.

This cheeseball is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the fridge until I'm ready to serve it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheeseball didn't turn out. It was too crumbly and didn't hold together. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cheeseball was a little too rich for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of cheese.

I love how versatile this cheeseball is. I've used different types of cheese and nuts, and it always turns out great. It's also a great way to use up leftover cheese.
