I love cheese and the more cheese the better. These cheese balls are loaded with some amazing cheese and the horseradish makes them pop. They also freeze very well.

Ingredients For cheese balls

  • 2 pkg
    (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 c
    shredded sharp cheddear cheese (i use the fancy shredded cheese)
  • 2 c
    shredded mild cheddar cheese (fancy type)
  • 4 oz
    crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 1/2 tsp
    prepared horseradish (i use our homegrown)
  • 1 tsp
    worcestershire sauce

  • 1/4 tsp
    garlic powder
  • 1/3 c
    finely chopped pecans, toasted

How To Make cheese balls

  • 1
    In a large bowl, combine the cheeses, horseradish, worcestershire sauce, onion and garlic powder. Shape into two balls. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • 2
    Toast your nuts, cool.
  • 3
    Combine the nuts, if you did not toast them together; press the nuts into your two cheese balls. I usually put the nuts in a large bowl and then I roll the cheese ball around pressing to make sure it is completely covered.
  • 4
    If you freeze a cheese ball for later, remove it from the freezer one hour before serving.
