Ieda's Cheese Ball

Hooray, for Friend Making Monday. Today we are posting our favorite holiday recipes. you can participate by going here. I can't wait to get new recipes for the holidays. I love the recipes I found the last time I participated in recipe sharing on Friend Making Monday.

Ieda's Cheese Ball

2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese
1 - 8 ounce package sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons onion juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped pimento
1 tablespoon finely chopped green pepper
1 package finely chopped pecans

Grate cheddar cheese and let stand at room temperature along with cream cheese until soft enough to work together with hands. Add other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Form into balls and roll in finely chopped pecans.

We like to make this the night before serving it. I cheat and use pre-shredded cheese but it would be even better with freshly grated cheese.

Onion juice is in a little bottle next to the spices at the grocery store. It mskes great burgers. I use 1 tsp onion juice and 2 tablespoons sour cream.
