Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball Spread
After looking at many cheese ball recipes that didn't fit my family's tastes, i made one up to serve on new year's eve. everyone loved and it was super simple to put together. i didn't roll my cheese ball in chopped nuts, but you could certainly do that or even roll it in additional crumbled bacon.
Steps
Combine all ingredients in a med-large size bowl.
If your cream cheese is soft enough , you can stir this by hand or you can use a hand-mixer until well combined.
Spoon out onto plastic wrap big enough to fold over top and form cheese mixture into a smooth bowl , wrapping plastic wrap around ball to seal.
Place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours so flavors blend.
Serve with crackers , bagel chips , veggies , etc.
