Party Cheeseball

I don’t know where I got the recipe for this cheese ball, but it’s a definite favorite! Great to have on hand at the holidays to take the edge off your hunger when that turkey just won’t finish cooking! Or when you need something easy to take to an office party. The kids like this one too! You can use low-fat cheese if you prefer, with good results.

Finely shredded Colby cheese

Assembly Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, soup mix and about 2/3 of the Colby cheese. Use a spoon or your hands to mix it together. When it is well-mixed, shape it into a ball. Put the remaining cheese on a medium-sized piece of plastic wrap. Roll the cheese ball in the remaining cheese to cover the outside as a garnish.

Freezing Directions:
Wrap the cheese ball in the plastic wrap you just used to hold the remaining cheese. Put the wrapped cheese ball in a freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:
Thaw the cheese ball in the refrigerator at least 24 hours. Unwrap it, put it on a serving plate, and serve with your favorite snack crackers. Wrap any leftover cheese ball and keep it in the refrigerator.
