Smokey Bacon Cheddar Cheese Balls
Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese — sharp or extra sharp
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 cup sliced green onions — thinly sliced green only
8 slices bacon — crisply cooked, patted dry and crumbled
1 tablespoon bacon fat
1/2 cup sunkist Bacon Cheddar Almond Accents
How to Prepare:
- Bring cream cheese and blue cheese to room temperature. In a food processor combine cheeses and bacon fat well. If it seems too stiff*, add 2-3T cream to thin it out some.
- Add the remaining ingredient (except almonds)and pulse to blend. Try not to break the bacon and onions up too much.
- Form cheese mixture into either 60 marble sized balls oe 2-3 cheese logs or balls and refrigerate until solid again(about 30 minutes).
- For mini-balls, pulse almonds in a food processor until almost ground then place 1T of the mixture in a baggie and shake 5-6 of the mini balls at a time to coat.
- If making larger cheese balls or logs, crush almonds slightly to break up a bit then roll chilled cheese balls or logs to coat lightly.
