Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Cheddar Cheese Ball.
Step 1
To create a delicious cheese ball thatโs perfect for any gathering, start by placing softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, and minced garlic into your food processor.
Step 2
Blend these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency thatโs well combined.
Step 3
Next, add in the shredded Cheddar cheese and pulse the mixture just enough to finely chop the cheese while still keeping some texture visible.
Step 4
Once your cheese mixture is ready, transfer it to a bowl and gently shape it into 3 or 4 delightful cheese balls.
Step 5
For a little extra firmness, pop the cheese balls into the freezer for about 15 minutes.

While they chill, prepare a flavorful coating by mixing chopped pecans and fresh parsley in a shallow bowl.
Step 7
Once the cheese balls are nicely chilled, roll them in the pecan-parsley mixture, ensuring they are fully coated for that perfect crunch and flavor.
Step 8
You can serve these tasty treats right away, or if you want to save them for later, wrap them tightly in festive plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil.
