Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 green onion chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Fresh herbs and nuts for rolling – Great options include parsley, chives, or dill for herbs, and chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts for nuts

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sour cream, bacon, green onion, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use a sturdy spatula or hand mixer and mix well.
  • Line a clean bowl with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to wrap the cheese mixture. Scoop the mixture onto the plastic wrap.
  • Gather the overhanging plastic wrap around the cheese mixture and gently shape it into a ball.
  • Place herbs and nuts about 1/4 cup of each in food processor and pulse a few times to grind everything together.
  • remove the plastic wrap from the cheeseball and roll the cheeseball in chopped herb and nut mixture for added flavor and texture.
  • Chill several or hours or it can be served immediately!
