Cheese Ball

Delicious cheddar cheese ball rolled in pecans.

Ingredients:

Directions:

Remove the Cream Cheese from the refrigerator and cut in chunks into a 2 quart or larger bowl.  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the cheese soften to room temperature.  If using the Pimientos, let them begin draining in a strainer.  If necessary, prepare the Roasted Pecans, let them cool to room temperature, chop and measure 1/2 cup, more or less.

When the cream cheese is soft, shred the Sharp Cheddar Cheese and add it to the bowl.  Chop the Onion and add to the bowl along with the Worcestershire Sauce and Lemon Juice.  Mix everything in the bowl until uniformly blended

Shape into a ball.  Roll the ball in the Roasted Pecans.  Refrigerate over night.  Serve with your favorite Crackers.

Notes:

I assemble the ball on the underside of a lid to a Tupperware like container, then when done, I cover it with the container inverted, sealed tightly to the lid and refrigerate it.
