Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (heaping)
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (heaping)
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt (we like Lowry's)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp hot sauce (buffalo or other)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (finely shredded)
  • 1/2 cup nuts ((walnuts, pecans or almonds), finely chopped)

Instruction

  • In a medium size mixing bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), mix the cream cheese and seasonings until smooth. Sprinkle in the cheddar cheese and mix until just combined.
  • Roll the mixture into a round ball (you can lightly coat your hands with cooking spray if that makes it easier, but because the ball is cold it shouldn't be too much of an issue).
  • Place the chopped nuts into a standard size bowl and roll to cover the ball entirely. You may need to pat some of the nuts into the areas that aren't covered. Cover the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
