This is the first cheese ball I ever made. It is so yummy it will be the only recipe I will ever need. I read the reviews before making it. I read from a lot that the ranch was too much so I only added 1/2 the package & 1/2 the worcestershire sauce. It is DELICIOUS!!! One of my kids can't stand cream cheese & he loves this!! This will be great for holiday parties. Thank You!! -
I had to make a few adjustments to make this cheese ball turn out correctly. At first I followed the recipe to a 'T' (but only added about 1/2 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce, b/c I felt the entire tablespoon would be too much). Even the 1/2 tablespoon turned out to be too much -- that and the ranch was all we could taste. I ended up having to add another 8 ounces of cream cheese to it, and that really helped. You could actually taste the other flavors. I didn't have any pecans so I ended up using almonds instead, which worked very well. All in all -- the cheese ball was very tasty and my family loved it, but be sure to add extra cream cheese and less worcestershire sauce, b/c it ends up being really overwhelming. -
Very Good! I used 2 packages of cream cheese and we thought it was just right! Thanks for sharing. -
Perhaps there's a typo in the ingredients, I am certain it needs 16oz of cream cheese, not 8. VERY STRONG flavor, and I usually like salty things - but not this. I added more cream cheese, and used only half as much worcestershire sauce. I ended up adding a couple tbs of mayo and a tsp milk so soften it, so my crackers don't break when I dip into it. (Could use sour cream as well). Added a small handful of cooked bacon too. It became edible, but as-is, I unfortunately feel this recipe is not a keeper. -
Fanatastic cheese ball, always requested and always gone in a heartbeat. Only variation is I roll it in minced real bacon (Hormel or OM).

Before I joined Zaar, I could barely boil water properly. So, when someone compliments my cooking and asks me where I learned how to cook, I'm proud to say I learned from a cooking website and a few store-bought cookbooks.
I have a black and white cat named Allie who is a little over 2 years old. She was adopted from the Humane Society. I really feel like we "rescued" her because she was sick when we got her and the Humane Society, as well-meaning as they are, just didn't have the resources to take care of her properly and she surely would have been euthanized. She is very healthy and happy now. She has tons of toys to play with, gets plenty of food and treats, gets to go out in the backyard to catch bugs and eat them, and someone is home with her almost all the time to cater to her every whim and fancy, lol. I don't have any children, Allie Cat is my baby, lol.
I developed a serious, unrelenting crush on Colin Farrell after I saw him in a movie called "American Outlaws", and I have been in love with him ever since....... well, as much as you can "love" someone you've never met.
I love t.v. and movies (always have) and I'm a huge fan of pop culture. Two of my favorite shows about pop culture are "Best Week Ever" on VH1 and "The Soup" on E!.
Grease is my favorite movie of all time, followed in a close second by Forrest Gump.
I came across this site by accident, I don't recall what recipe I was looking for, but I know that I found it and a whole lot more!
