Brad’s Cheddar Pecan Cheese Ball

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Mix at least 2 hours ahead of time and let stand in the fridge. Overnight would be better. Take out and let come to room temperature 30 minutes before serving.

8 ounces Cream Cheese
8 ounces Sharp Cheddar (shredded is best since it will half to be worked less)
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 small onion chunked
2 cloves Garlic or 1 tsp Garlic Powder
2 dashes of Hot Sauce

Chopped Pecans

Put onion and garlic in food processor and mince fine. I use garlic powder if the onion seems especially wet. If using garlic powder wait 15 minutes to let the powder soak in the liquid before continuing, it will provide a nicer mouth feel and the ball will hold together better. Mix well in food processor, but don’t overheat it. Scrape the food processor bowl with a rubber spatula and roll cheese mix in a ball or log. Roll the formed cheese in chopped pecans.
