Cheddar Cheese Ball


Someone made this for me at a baby shower for my second pregnancy. I absolutely loved it, and begged for the recipe. Even though I don’t remember the name of the woman who gave it to me, I still have her orange index card with the recipe typed out. It’s still my favorite cheese ball ever.

Note: I’ve tried making this with already-shredded cheese, and by shredding it with my food processor and it doesn’t turn out as well. Hand shredding is a pain, no doubt about it, but the results are much better. Also, it’s best if made a day or so prior to serving.

Ingredients:
1 pound cheddar cheese
½ t salt
½ t dry mustard
Small onion, very finely diced
2 T melted butter
1 T ketchup
2 to 3 T light mayo
Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

  • Grate the cheese into a large mixing bowl
  • Thoroughly mix everything except the grated cheese in a small bowl
  • Add the mixture to the grated cheese and mix thoroughly
  • Either roll the mixture into a ball or place in a serving dish
  • Sprinkle paprika over the top
  • Set out 30 minutes before serving for easier spreading
