How to Make Sharp Cheddar Cheese Ball

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 16 ounces (2 cups) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 4 ounces (1/2 cup) cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  2. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
  3. Shape the mixture into a ball on a sheet of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Before serving, let the cheese ball sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften slightly.
  5. Serve with your favorite crackers, breadsticks, or vegetables.
