BACON SPINACH CHEESE BALL RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by á-26060
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- In a large skillet cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside to cool and drain on paper towels. Chop when cool. Drain all but 1 tablespoon bacon grease from the skillet. Add the spinach and cook over medium heat until wilted and cooked through. Sprinkle the spinach with salt and set aside on a cutting board to cool. Chop finely when cooled. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until it's translucent and a tiny bit golden at the edges. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Place the cream cheese in a large bowl. Add cheese, onions, garlic, half of the chopped bacon, chopped spinach, and cayenne pepper and stir well. Roll the cream cheese mixture into a large ball and then roll in the remaining chopped bacon. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the spinach just until it is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. The cream cheese is the base of the spinach cheese ball, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
- Add your favorite seasonings. The recipe includes a few basic seasonings, but you can add any other seasonings that you like. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Chill the spinach cheese ball before serving. This will help the cheese ball to firm up and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Spinach cheese ball is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a spinach cheese ball that will impress your guests. So next time you're looking for an appetizer, give this spinach cheese ball recipe a try.
