I love all of these ingredients separately but together... It was incredibly harsh/acrid to the taste buds.

I love cheese balls and this one is super easy! I do it in the food processor so it's fast. It makes a really great basic recipe that you can switch up to suit your taste. I like to use two different sharp cheeses like Emmenthaler or another Swiss variety...try also a blue variety with a white cheddar, it's endless possibility! If you do choose to roll in nuts, I recommend toasting the nuts first and use pecans, walnuts or almonds.

Quick, easy and tasty. I made this for a potluck party at work. I used cheddar cheese with bacon pieces in it for the flavor and I didn't have any prepared mustard so I used 1 tsp of dry mustard. I added some onion and garlic powder and chopped parsley. I let rest for 48 hours.

Great tasting cheese ball. My mom puts chives in hers, but I didn't have any so that was the only thing missing in this recipe for me. I also prefer not to roll my cheese balls in nuts. This was the perfect size for about 4 or 5 people to snack on.
