Mexene Cheese Ball

18 oz grated cheddar cheese
1 small grated onion
4 (8oz) pkgs cream cheese
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Mexene chili powder.

Let cream cheese and cheddar cheese soften, mix all ingredients except the chili powder. Roll into logs or balls. Makes 3 (4 inch) balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and let meld in the refrigerator at least overnight.


I put on plastic gloves and mix by hand, it makes it easier to roll into balls and the powder. I haven't tried any other chili powders, I have always found the Mexene. It's has a blue label and is in a round column type jar with a blue lid.
