I'm just a Cheese Ball

An easy DenKag family classic - The Cheese Ball

Since I like to watch what I eat, this recipe is a twist on the old classic from my mother.  It's as fat-free as I could make it!


Ingredients:
8 oz fat-free cream cheese
4 oz reduced-fat blue cheese crumbles
1 cup fat-free cheddar, shredded (about 4 oz)
1/4 cup minced onion
1 tbsp worcestershire
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Soften ingredients and beat with a mixer until well-blended and smooth.  Pour onto plastic wrap and form into a ball.  Chill this in the fridge until it firms just a bit. Roll the ball in the chopped pecans until it's fully covered; re-wrap and re-form into ball.  Serve straight from the fridge with crackers.

*Note:  If the entire cheese ball is not eaten at once, re-form in the plastic wrap and cover any bare spots with more pecans.

  1. I am so excited b/c I am totally going to try this on Thursday -- I am having some girls over to my place. It's the first time I've had people over. They are going to love the cheeseball!
