Pimiento Cheese Ball

Buying premade cheese balls at the grocery store are expensive. Did you know that is it just as easy to prepare your own Pimiento Cheese Ball at home at just a fraction of the cost? Try making your own this year. You'll wonder why you didn't do this before.

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened room temperature
2 c. sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
2 green onions, chopped
1 (2 oz.) jar pimientos, drained
2 Tbs. butter, melted
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
shaved pecans (optional)
Crackers

Directions

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy with an electric mixer. 

Add the cheddar cheese, onions, pimientos, melted butter and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined. 

Shape into a ball form, but leave the bottom of the ball flat, so it does not roll away and off the plate.

Press the fresh parsley and or shaved pecans over the top and sides of the cheese ball. 

Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
