Dill Pickle Cheese Ball
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish, if desired)
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for coating)
Crackers, pretzels, or veggies for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Cheese Ball Mixture:
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped dill pickles, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the Cheese Ball:
Shape the Mixture: Using your hands, shape the cheese mixture into a ball. If the mixture is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Coat the Cheese Ball:
Roll in Nuts: If using, spread the chopped pecans or walnuts on a plate. Roll the cheese ball in the nuts until fully coated. This adds a nice crunch and flavor.
Chill:
Refrigerate: Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese ball to firm up.
Serve:
Garnish: If desired, garnish with additional chopped dill pickles or green onions before serving.
Enjoy: Serve with crackers, pretzels, or fresh veggies for dipping.
