Best Cheese Ball

Best Cheese Ball

16 oz cream cheese

1 jar Kraft Old English spread (sharp cheese variety is good)

1 1/2 c grated cheddar cheese 

1 tsp garlic, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt

1-2 tsp lemon juice concentrate

2 heaping T mayo (not Miracle Whip)

2 c finely chopped nuts (any - pecans, walnuts, almonds)

1 T chopped parsley

crackers for serving

Finely chop nuts and set aside.

In a large bowl or food processor combine all of the ingredients. Mix well. Form a ball and place on a large piece of saran wrap

Place cheese ball in the fridge for 10-15 min to firm up. You can continue or wait for the last two steps and do them right before serving. 

Mix the chopped nuts and parsley on the place on a plate. Unroll the cheese ball and place it in the nuts. Roll to cover and shape with your hands. 

Serve immediately or store for a few hours in the fridge

This is a fabulous recipe. I threw away my other recipe once I used this for the first time. As long as I can find the Kraft cheese spread, which makes all the difference in taste and texture, I'll make this cheese ball.
