“Similar to other cheese ball recipes, yet different! Our family has this every year as a prelude to Thanksgiving dinner, along with a relish tray, to use up those last few minutes while the turkey's browning. Double it and freeze one for New Year's! Serve with an array of crackers.” - by SARCLA

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons grated onion
1 clove garlic, minced
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 (2.25 ounce) can green olives
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Hide Checklist

Directions

In a food processor, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, blue cheese, onion, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until well blended. Add olives, and pulse into small chunks.
Shape the mixture into a ball, and roll in the chopped pecans to coat. Wrap in plastic, and chill at least 4 hours in the refrigerator.

"This was the best cheeseball I've ever tasted including Hickory Farms. The flavor is strong and delicious. It holds it's shape great and can be made the night before and tastes just as good. Nice...." See more"
