How to Make Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped bacon, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. Mix thoroughly.
- Using a spoon, gently gather the mixture towards the center of the bowl and form a rough ball.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheese ball is firm and chilled.
- Once chilled, roll the cheese ball in 1 cup of additional shredded cheddar cheese until completely coated, pressing the cheese gently to adhere.
- Serve immediately or chill further until ready to serve. Enjoy!
