Southwest Cheese Ball
From: Deb @ www.cookingonthefrontburners.com/
Are you feeling a bit withdrawn from watching football and munching on some appetizers? Yes, sadly for some, football season is the end of TV watching on Sunday afternoon. But, for others there is NASCAR. My favorite Sunday activity. So,even though you might not be munching much on Sunday afternoons, or you are having a great race day party, you may have an occasion where you need an appetizer. That is why I'm sharing this Southwest Cheese Ball.
It needs to be made ahead of time so it has time to chill. But, that is so the flavors can blend. This will be so yummy to share on your table or take it to a friends. Enjoy!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 3-4 hours
Yield 1 cheese ball
Ingredients
1 (8) ounce package of 1/3 reduced cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup prepared Mexican cheese blend (finely grated)
3 tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons green onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons pickled canned jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
½ cup toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese, Mexican cheese and butter until well mixed.
Then beat in the milk and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined.
On low speed beat in green onions and jalapeno peppers to combine.
Place mixture in a sealed container in a refrigerator for a minimum of 3-4 hours
In a small saucepan, add the sesame seeds over medium heat and stir occasionally until the seeds turn a golden brown - cool a bit then place on wax paper
Shape the cheese mixture into a ball.
Roll ball in sesame seeds - let sit about 15 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite crackers and enjoy!
