Cheddar Cheese Ball
Creamy, sharp, and rolled in chopped nuts, my Aunt Judy's cheese ball is a homemade winner that puts every store-bought version to shame.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- 1
Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl and sprinkle garlic powder over the cream cheese. Add the Worcestershire sauce. Mix again until well combined, about 1 minute.

Add the cheese and mix again. Spread plastic wrap on the counter and scoop the cheese mixture onto it. Form into a ball with the spatula.

Place the chopped nuts on a small plate. Gently roll the cheeseball in the nuts to coat it completely. Wrap the finished cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Remove from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers and fresh vegetables.
