Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dried parsley
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, finely chopped for garnish)
- 1 package Crackers or vegetables
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Shape the cheese mixture into a ball using your hands. If the mixture feels too sticky, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Spread the chopped pecans on a plate or shallow dish. Roll the cheese ball in the pecans until it is fully coated. Gently press the pecans into the cheese ball to ensure they adhere.
If desired, sprinkle the cheese ball with finely chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the ball to firm up.
Serve chilled with crackers, vegetables, or your preferred dipping items. Enjoy!
