Mini Smoked Gouda Cheese Balls Recipes

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix cream cheese, Gouda cheese and bacon bits until well blended. Stir in tomatoes. Cover; refrigerate 45 to 60 minutes or until firm enough to shape into balls.
• Place pecans or parsley in small shallow bowl. Shape cheese mixture into 28 (1-inch) balls, about 2 teaspoons cheese mixture for each ball. Roll in pecans to coat.
• Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 24 hours).

Steps:

• Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup shredded smoked gouda, 2 tablespoons each chopped pimientos and chives, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of cayenne pepper with a mixer. Form into 1-inch balls, place on a plate and refrigerate until slightly firm, at least 2 hours. Dust with 1 teaspoon paprika and roll in finely crushed pretzels just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10 inch casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook until a roux forms. Stir in the milk, salt and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth and thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.
• Combine cooked pasta and cheese sauce; transfer to prepared dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until heated through.

Steps:

• Place Gouda, cream cheese, butter, milk, and steak sauce in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; mix until well combined. Transfer mixture to refrigerator; let chill overnight. Roll cheese mixture into a ball. Place nuts in a shallow dish. Roll cheese ball in nuts to fully coat. Serve with crackers.
