Who Dey Cheese Ball

 



Who-Dey Cheese Ball-Karri Perry


16 ounces cream cheese (2 bricks)

1/2 cup sour cream

2 green onions chopped

1 teaspoon Worcestershire 

1 teaspoon hot sauce

1 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder 

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper 

For coating the Cheeseball:

1 Tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning

2 tsp poppyseeds

1/4 Cup reserved shredded  cheddar


Whip softened cream cheese for 30 seconds, add sour cream, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce-mix to combine. Fold in the spices, onion and cheese.


Create 1 large or two medium sized cheese balls.


Place cheese mixture onto a medium piece of plastic wrap. Bring the edges of the wrap together and form a ball. Refrigerate for an hour or longer to firm it up.


Place the chilled rounded cheeseball on a plate, sprinkle with the shredded cheese and Everything Bagel seasoning. Roll the cheeseball in the spices and cheese to cover all sides.  Serve or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. The flavors build and develop the longer it’s refrigerated.


Serve with crackers and fresh vegetables.
