Cheese Ball was a big hit. I’m thankful I found your recipe.
Thanks Tam! Glad you like it.
Can I replace the bacon with thin beef
😋🤤
Do you use the no bake cream cheese or regular cream cheese?
Regular cream cheese.
I was curious how long this stays good for in the refrigerator?
This should be good 3-4 days in the fridge. Just wrap it in some plastic wrap.
I thought this cheeseball was going to be delicious. It was easy to make. The flavors are very good, but it’s VERY SALTY! Perhaps using a half packet of Ranch dressing mix would help?? Or less bacon and/or cheese?
Marking this for the second time! Previously for a party and now just to enjoy with my family on New Year’s Eve! It’s a keeper!
