Well, here’s your app. This quick, simple cheese ball is easy, takes minimal prep, and is a crowd pleaser. Rejoice!!

It’s the season of busy. The most wonderful time of year, but also the absolute busiest time of year! There are so very many parties, neighborhood walks, church and work events. All. The. Things. And inevitably, you are supposed to bring something to everything. But then there’s still shopping, wrapping, meal prepping, and actually enjoying the season. Taking a minute to just take it in and celebrate. Is your head spinning just thinking about it? Keep calm, you’ve got this! I’m currently surviving off coffee, Christmas music on repeat, Amazon Prime, my go to fall and winter freezer appetizer and dessert, and this quick cheese ball! And moreover, the fact that Jesus does not care how you show up to the party, just so long as you show up. Can I get an, Amen?! So release that pressure, whip up this quick cheese ball, and let’s party!!

Cheese Ball Prep:

First grab your ingredients. Allowing the cream cheese to soften prior will make mixing the ingredients easier, but is not a must. We’re busy here, right?! So if there’s no time to soften, just put a little muscle into mixing! Next mince your green pepper, grate onion, finely dice pimentos, chop your pecans (if not already pre chopped). Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green pepper, onion, Worchester sauce, salt, pepper, and lemon juice together fully in a bowl. Next form your chees ball. Then sprinkle formed cheese ball with paprika and parsley flakes. Finally, roll in chopped pecans. Serve with your crackers and devour!
