- 1 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese
- 1/2 stick butter (margarine is fine)
- 1 C. shredded cheese (see notes)
- A dash of Worcestershire sauce
Combine all together. Form into a ball or log. Roll in nuts or parsley.
Notes: Now, that’s just the basics. You can make a variety of flavors by changing up the cheese you use. use your imagination and your taste to guide you, but some favorites of mine are: Swiss Almond (using shredded Swiss and rolling in sliced almonds.) Hot Pepper (using hot or super hot pepper cheese, adding a dash of hot pepper sauce and 1/4 tsp. ground red pepper) Smoked Cheddar (using smoked cheddar, or medium cheddar and a drop or two of liquid smoke)

The cheese ball recipe was awesome. I added 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/2 tsp garlic to the basic cheese ball recipe and it was scrumptious.
