Great concept! I will definitely make this again. I think where I failed a bit was in trying to make my own bacon bits. The bacon flavor was overpowering. Next time, I'll use the packaged ones. I used strips of cream cheese for the laces of the ball because pimento is red....laces are white. lol....anyway, thanks for posting!

I made this for a pre-super bowl party that was last night. It was very easy to make and looked very much like a football. Everyone commented on how cute it was! And it tastes really good too. One note: I only needed 3 oz of bacon bits and that covered the whole thing really well. Thanks for the great ball game recipe!
