Mickey's Cheese Ball This is a creative cheese ball. I have listed the necessary ingredients one one said and the other ingredients on the other side. Mix to your family's taste. This is one of most popular things I make. My family demands one of the these for each holiday. My pastor also gets one for each holiday. It is very sharp cheese ball.
Must have ingredients 16 oz of cream cheese 12 to 16 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 8 to 12 oz of blue cheese crumbled 1 very large onion grated	Optional ingredients Olives Bacon pieces Nuts of any kind Any kind of soft spreadable cheese you want Garlic Chili powder Coating Nuts Bacon bits Chili powder Choppedgreen onion Parsley
This is a very flexible cheese ball. You can change it to fit your family's taste. I like a sharp cheese ball. his one bites back. The secret is the must have ingredients. If you would like it a little less sharp you can use mild shredded cheese and less blue cheese. The onion must not be in chunks. That is why it must be grated. Making this cheese ball is requires a lot of culinary skills. Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl, cover it, and set it out until the cream cheese is soft. When the cream cheese is soft, wash your hands well, put them in the mixture and squeeze it all together. (Trust me. This works better than anything else I have tried.) Shape the ball anyway you want, coat it with what ever coating you have chosen, and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
