Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Pecans, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 sheet Plastic wrap
- 1 box Crackers (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Using a spatula or an electric mixer on low speed, mix the ingredients until well combined.
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean counter and transfer the cheese mixture onto the middle of the plastic wrap.
Use your hands, with the help of the plastic wrap, to shape the cheese mixture into a ball.
Once the cheese ball is formed, wrap it tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Just before serving, place the chopped pecans and parsley (if using) onto a large plate. Remove the cheese ball from the plastic wrap and roll it in the pecan mixture until evenly coated.
Serve the cheese ball on a platter with crackers, breadsticks, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
