Sherrie's Cheeseball

This is not a very enticing picture (as most of mine aren't) but it is a delicious cheeseball.  I got the recipe from my sister-in-law, Sherrie. She served it at a family reunion.  I put the recipe in my notes on my phone, so hopefully I got it right.  I've made it a couple of times since.

Cheeseball

3 -8 oz. bricks of cream cheese

1 1/2 teaspoons prepared horseradish (I used horseradish sauce this time and it was good)

1 bunch green onion, chopped

2 packages Carl Budig beef, cut up small  (This is cheap lunch meat)

1 tsp. salt

I like to add a few drops Tabasco

Mix all together with your hands.  When well mixed, form into a ball.  Then roll in chopped pecans and parsley. I used dried parsley in this picture, but I like fresh better.  Chill.  Serve with crackers.  

Michelle's Cheese Ball

Need a good cheese ball recipe for your New Year's festivities or Super Bowl celebration?  Michelle made this for an appetizer for our Thanksgiving dinner.  It was delicious!  She got the recipe from allrecipes.com.

Cheese Ball
2- 8oz. packages cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 red pepper, finely chopped
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Salt, just a pinch
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans.
Combine the cream cheese and cheddar cheese in a bowl- It is easiest to use your hands to mix them together.  Add the peppers, onion, Worcestershire, lemon juice and salt.  Mix well and shape into a round ball.  Spread the chopped pecans on a plate.  Roll the cheeseball in the pecans until the ball is well and evenly coated.  Refrigerate overnight.
