The holidays are coming and this is one way to make it easier - make your Cheese Balls in advance and freeze them.  This recipe makes 2 large, 3 medium or any assortment you like.  Sometimes I do a very small one for a dinner party and then 2 larger for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Enjoy!

Cheese Ball

Great to make ahead and freeze for the holidays!

 

3 8oz. pkg. Cream Cheese, softened              1 lb. shredded Cheddar Cheese

½ tsp. minced Garlic                                     1 cup Pecans, coarsely chopped

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce                        ¼ cup chopped fresh Parsley

1 Tbsp. Hot Pepper Sauce

 

These are great to make ahead and freeze for the holidays! In a large glass bowl with mixer, combine cream cheese, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce.  Blend well.  Add Cheddar cheese and mix until the Cheddar is fine, but still very visible. Shape the mixture into balls or logs. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in the freezer.  While the balls are in the freezer, combine the ground pecans and parsley in a shallow bowl.  Remove the balls from the freezer and roll them in the pecan and parsley mixture.  Makes 3-4 balls (make several sizes to accommodate sizes of gatherings).
