I found this recipe (sorry no pictures) in the Costco Connection Magazine. I served this cheese ball as a spread for Wheat Thins and veggie crackers at our annual VDG Smash (our family Christmas party), and it was a hit!
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 10-oz. pkg. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 T. chopped red pepper or pimiento
1 T. finely chopped onion
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 tsp. lemon juice
dash of ground red pepper
dash of salt
chopped pecans, for garnish
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and Cheddar cheese with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add bell pepper, onion, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, red pepper and salt; mix well. Chill for several hours or overnight. Shape the cream cheese mixture into a log or ball. Garnish with pecans. Serve with crackers.
