Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Liver sausage
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried onion flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley (finely chopped, for coating)
- 0.25 cup Optional - chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, add the liver sausage and cream cheese. Allow both to come to room temperature for easier mixing.
Using a fork or a hand mixer, blend the liver sausage and cream cheese together until smooth and evenly combined.
Add Worcestershire sauce, dried onion flakes, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the flavors.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a pinch of salt or more Worcestershire sauce if desired.
Transfer the mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape it into a ball by gathering the edges of the plastic wrap and twisting them to create a firm, round shape.
Refrigerate the ball for at least two hours or until firm enough to handle. This helps it hold its shape while coating.
Once chilled, remove the ball from the plastic wrap. Spread the chopped parsley (and nuts, if using) on a flat surface and gently roll the cheese ball until it is fully coated.
Place the finished cheese ball on a serving plate. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or bread, or wrap tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
