This is a great, cheesy, bacon filled cheese ball that is super served with crackers or pita chips! A big hit at our house! Ingredients:
1 lb bacon, cooked until crisp, cooled and drained on paper towels |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup miracle whip |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Process the bacon in the food processor until finely minced. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and Miracle Whip with an electric mixer until well mixed.
3. Beat in the remaining ingredients (except the bacon). Beat in the bacon only until mixed.
4. Shape into two small cheese balls and wrap each well in plastic wrap. Chill overnight.
5. Serve with crackers or pita chips.
6. To serve, you can leave the cheese ball as is, or roll in finely minced parsley, chopped nuts or finely shredded cheese. This keeps well for a few days in the refrigerator.
