It's not Christmas Eve in our house without finger foods and of course my cheese ball. I make mine two or three weeks ahead of time and leave it in the fridge to age...that is if I can keep everyone from getting into it before the 24th....LOL
1- 8 ounce package cream cheese
1/2 cup grated old cheddar (I always add more as it gives it a nice cheesy flavor)
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions, (the green adds color as well as flavor)
dash of tobasco sauce
dash of Worcestershire sauce
Smoosh (yes that is a technical cooking term...LOL) it all together and roll into ball, wrap and store in fridge. Serve with your favorite crackers, bacon dippers go really well with this.
I hate the smooshing part, it's just really sticky....last year I decided my son in laws initiation into the family was mixing the cheese ball... LOL
