One of the foods we had at our mom’s party was cheese balls. Apparently cheese balls are food of the 50’s. Our mom has been making cheese balls for a long time. We take them to parties and family gatherings. I am not allowed to show up to a family gathering with Handsome Husband’s family without a cheese ball. And I usually send some home with family members. They are so simple to make!
How do you harden a Cheeseball?
Wrap the cheese ball tightly with cling wrap and pop it into the fridge. I will harden when it is chilled. You’ll need to chill it for several hours for it to be firm.
How long will a Cheeseball keep in the refrigerator?
As long as the ingredients you used are newly purchased, a cheeseball should last up to 2 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.
Cheese Ball
Cheese Ball is a great appetizer to take to any party or gathering. It is a savory cream cheese spread with amazing flavor.
Ingredients
- 16 oz blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 1/2 of 5 oz jar dried beef
- 6 green onions
- 1 Tbsp season salt or some other seasoning
Instructions
- Chop dried beef into small pieces.
- Cut up the green part of the green onions. (I use scissors to cut them up. I also plant the bottom that's left and then just cut the green part off when I need more.)
- In your Kitchenaid mixer bowl, add all ingredients and mix using the whisk attachment. Or you could mix it with a spoon or your hand.
- After its mixed, separate it into 3 balls. Wrap each ball with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for a few hours.
- Serve with crackers.
