Recipe Introduction
"Cindy, Here is the recipe for my family's favorite cheese ball. I'd give credit, but I got it from my mother in law and she got it from a friend years ago. Almost everyone who tastes it raves about it.
This also makes nice gifts. For Christmas, I made up lots of it, scooped some into plastic Christmas cups, covered with green saran wrap and tied with a red ribbon. I also bagged up some of the shaped Christmas butter crackers and put it all in a small gift bag for teachers, etc."
List of Ingredients
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, cut into pieces
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 5oz jar Kraft Pimento cheese spread (not pimento cheese, but this specific item - usually by the parmesan cheese in the store)
3 tablespoons mayo
1 tablespoon worchestshire sauce
1/4 teaspoon tabasco
1 clove garlic, minced (I use the pre-chopped in a jar)
1 tablespoon rum or 1 teaspoon rum extract
1/4 teaspoon Accent, if you have any (This is MSG, and I don't add it anymore because we avoid MSG)
Paprika and Chili Powder to taste
Chopped nuts (optional)Recipe
Melt cheddar cheese in microwave (about 45 seconds in mine). Cream cheeses together well. Add mayo, worchestshire, tabasco, garlic, rum, and Accent and mix well. Chill for a few hours. Use wax paper to roll into a ball or log shape and coat with Paprika and Chili Powder and nuts if desired. Serve with a variety of crackers.
