Celebration Cheese Ball

Cook's Note: I made this cheeseball for New Year's Eve to take to my friend's house. It was a hit! Everyone loved it and its so darn easy. You can make this and be proud that you did it yourself. 

A homemade cheeseball tastes so much better than a store bought one... that is just my 2 cents. You will need a food processor in order to make this. 

Great for any party, game day snack or Christmas celebration!

This recipe YIELDS 2 Cheese Balls or 1 very large cheese ball. 

What You Will Need: 

(2) 8 oz Packages of Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature

(1) 8 oz Package of Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1/4 tsp Celery Salt

1 cup chopped Pecans

** It is important to let your cream cheese packages sit out on the counter and soften at room temperature first, otherwise, you will have a mess on your hands

Directions: 

In a food processor, blend all ingredients except for the nuts. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours. Once chilled, place cream cheese mixture onto wax paper and divide into 2 even size balls (you will roll this in the wax paper). Roll each ball in the pecans, coating the outside of the ball well. Wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate until time to serve. 

Serve with assorted crackers.
