Bacon Cheese Ball
When I am creating my grocery list for the big game, one of my husband’s first requests is always a cheese ball. There is nothing more delicious that Ritz crackers with creamy cheese ball unless of course that cheese ball has bacon in it. This delicious bacon cheese ball is one of my favorites and on my must have list for this year’s big game. The best part? It is super easy to make!
You will need:
- 2- 8 Oz packages of cream cheese, semi-softened
- 8 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup of Colby Jack Cheese
- 1 tablespoon of chopped green onion
- 1 cup of chopped pecans
Place the cheese ball and on a plate and cover until ready to serve.
Serve with crackers and anything else you like to dip in a cheese ball.
