“The Cheeseball”

Jump to recipe

I have been making this recipe for so long, I don’t even remember how I came across it.  All I knew is everyone loved it and there was no greater joy than watching my uncle gleefully go back for as many crackers as he could eat and be happy to take any leftovers off of our hands.  Sometimes, after making a dish for years,  you get burned out on making your “signature” dish  and someone else will offer to make it.  You give them the exact recipe and inevitably they decide that “eh, it didn’t need scallions” or omit something else that makes the cheeseball, well, the cheeseball!

Obviously, you can alter this however you like and make your own version that is suited to your family’s taste.   Use a little sour cream if you want a dip consistency, use fresh dill and garlic powder in lieu of the packaged powder if you’re looking to go “natural”, use ham over beef.  The possibilites are endless.

    1. It is perfect for any gathering and goes quickly! The Neufchatel (1/3 less fat) still has a great cream cheese flavor to it but lets the other ingredients shine too.

  1. You have a great combination for your awesome Cheeseball! Thanks so much for sharing your post with us at Full Plate Thursday. Have a great week and come back soon!

  2. Good gravy, I need to step up my game. We made this dip growing up and it was delicious. But add in scallions and ranch?? Holy cats, this looks amazing. I may make it for dinner one night.
