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

2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded sharp cheddear cheese (i use the fancy shredded cheese)
2 cups shredded mild cheddar cheese (fancy type)
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
4 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish (i use our homegrown)
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

How To Make cheese balls

Step 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.

Step 2

Toast your nuts, cool.
Step 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.
Step 4

If you freeze a cheese ball for later, remove it from the freezer one hour before serving.
