Make Your Next Cheeseball Using This Easy Formula I love a plug-and-play formula that offers guidance without a strict ingredients list

Posted on 12/15/2021 2:07:35 PM PST by mylife

Rolling in to an office holiday party or other seasonal gathering with a cheeseball is a simple, cost-effective way to win friends and influence colleagues. Cheeseballs are fun to eat and easy to make, and there are plenty of recipes for them on this wide and vast informational web.

I don’t think I’ve ever made the same cheeseball twice. I like to play around with flavors, but I also hate following recipes. I do, however, love a plug-and-play formula that gives guidance without confining you to a strict ingredients list, and I happen to have just such a formula for making easy, savory cheeseballs

Claire’s Easy and Flexible Cheeseball Formula 8 ounces of spreadable cheese + 8 ounces of shredded hard cheese + 1 tablespoon of seasoning blend + 2 teaspoons acidic liquid + crunchy stuff

That’s it.

I’ve never made one before. Do you get bonus points if you make two at once?

Your version looks delish. I’ve never thought to put green onions in my cheeseballs, but w/the ranch dip spice, great idea.

Rolled in chopped up dried cranberries works well in a pinch too or even not in a pinch.
