Old School Cheese Ball

Gotta love this recipe. . .totally from a past generation, but not forgotten. I make this frequently and got the recipe from a co-worker named Karen about 8 years ago. Simple, yet a crowd-pleaser; the kids will even eat it! I have frozen this cheese ball with great results, so feel free to make 1 for now and 1 for later - just don't roll it in nuts until it has been thawed out.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 15

Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (not low fat or non-fat because it needs to be thick)
• 1 (5 ounce) jar  Kraft Old English cheese spread (sometimes I add an extra jar of this and make it into 2 balls)
• 1 (5 ounce) jar  Kraft roka blue spread
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
• 1  tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1  cup  chopped pecans

Directions

1. Let all three cheeses get to room temperature.
2. With a blender, mix together all ingredients EXCEPT the nuts.
3. Shape into 1 or 2 balls (I always do 2 so that there are more nuts to go around).
4. Roll each cheese ball in nuts, place on a piece of waxed paper and put in the fridge to set up.
5. Serve with buttery crackers on the side.
