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!
