MsBaton's Note:

This is a very tasty cheese ball recipe that I got from my cousin. You can make it with lower in fat cheese. I usually use the lower in fat cheese and you can't tell a difference.

Excellent cheese ball! I do not care for raw onions but they were perfect in this recipe. I cut the cayenne pepper to 1/4 tsp. because I was afraid 1/2 tsp. would make it too spicy. I should have left it alone though. You could hardly notice any zip at all so I'm sure the full amount would have been fine. This make a very large cheese ball. That comes in handy for a large gathering, but if you are making it for a small party, you might want to half the recipe or make two balls and save the second one. Thanks for posting!

This cheese ball had WAY too much garlic salt in it. I had to double the cheddar and cream cheese to make it tolerable. Nobody that tried it before I doubled the cheeses could stand it. Stay away from this one unless you like so much salt that your tongue shrivels up and falls out...

Delicious and easy to make. I didn't change a thing, and we loved the zippiness from the seasoning.
