Recipe of the Month: Cheese Ball (Loaf)

This Cheese Ball recipe is a great appetizer for the holidays:

1 ½    packages Cream Cheese
1        tsp Worcestershire sauce
4        Oz. grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1        Tblsp finely crumbled Blue Cheese
¼       Cup celery chopped fine
¼       Cup bell peppers chopped fine
2         Tblsp green onions chopped fine
3        dashes Franks Hot sauce
½        tsp  garlic powder
4         Oz.  pecans, finely chopped (the finer chopped the better coverage you’ll get)

Set out Cream Cheese to soften.  Mix everything thoroughly in a bowl, except pecans.  Chill mixture in refrigerator overnight.  Roll cheese ball in chopped pecans and chill again before serving.  I like to make it a loaf – you get more pecans with each bite!
