  4. Form the mixture into a ball and roll it in the chopped pecans until fully coated.
  5. Serve with Ritz crackers.

Notes

I got this recipe from my wife’s former co-worker Beth. It is the best cheese ball I’ve ever had—hands down. I once won a cheese ball making contest with this recipe beating out a contestant that spent close to $100 on their cheese ball.

  1. While you can do this by hand, it’s much easier if you use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. ↩︎
