Ingredients

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 cup crumbled bacon
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Crackers and/or celery for serving
  • Green olives with pimento for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Add the softened cream cheese and shredded white cheddar to a large bowl. Use a spatula to mix until smooth. (Alternately you can use a hand or stand mixer to do the mixing.)
  • Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, celery salt, and black pepper and mix until fully combined.
  • Use a spatula to scrape all the cheese mixture into the middle of the bowl, then place in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to help it firm up a bit.
  • Remove cheese ball from fridge and use hands to roll and smooth into a ball. Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and place it into the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine the crumbled bacon and parsley in a medium bowl and mix well.
  • Remove the chilled cheese ball from the fridge and place into the bowl of bacon and parsley and gently turn to coat all sides.
  • Store wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container until you're ready to serve it. Garnish with olives, and serve with your favorite crackers, celery sticks, dried fruit and/or nuts.
  • Cheeseball will keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days wrapped in plastic wrap.
