Susies Cheese Ball Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the first 5 ingredients together.
• Then shape into two balls and roll the balls in the beef. Wrap with cling wrap.
• Put in fridge until firm. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Allow the butter and cheeses to come to room temperature. They should sit out of the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• Put everything except the pecans and parsley in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice. It should take about 4 minutes.
• Plop the mixture onto a piece of waxed paper and gently form into a ball. Place in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or until firm enough to work with.
• Mix the pecans and parsley together on a large plate or a cutting board, then roll the cheese ball in the mixture. Cover any surfaces with a sprinkling of the mixture and pat into the sides until you have an evenly coated ball.
• Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready to serve, let the ball sit out for at least a half hour to soften. Serve with good plain crackers or small toasts.

Steps:

• 1. Reserve approx. 1 package of diced meat for garnish.
• 2. Thoroughly mix all the other ingredients.
• 3. When thoroughly mixed place in a pretty bowl or shape into a ball. Depending on size you want, you can get 2 to 3 cheeseballs from one recipes.
• 4. Cover top with the reserved meat and then cover with plastic wrap.
• 5. Refrigerate until well chilled, over night is best, so the flavors all have time to blend.
• 6. Serve with a variety of crackers. ***My favorites are: Ritz, Club, and Townhouse..I personally do not care for the flavored crackers with this cheeseball..But you might like them very well..
• 7. **I like using the chipped ham luncheon meat also to make this recipe..these pkgs. of meat are the ones that usually hang in the lunch meat section of grocers' cooler dept...in my local Save-A-Lot they cost about $.45/pkg.
• 8. **This meat dices much easier when frozen, if you are dicing by hand as I do.
• 9. **I will be experimenting with my new food processor for doing all the chopping and dicing..should make this a very quick and easy recipe!!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease bottom and sides of 15x10x1-inch pan.
• In large bowl, stir together all ingredients except barbecue sauce, using hands or spoon. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place in pan.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brown. Immediately remove from pan. Serve warm with sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except almonds and form to shape of a pine cone on serving tray.
• (Imagine a pine cone hanging from a branch. Now mentally slice that pine cone in half lengthwise and lay it on your serving tray. That's the shape you want to make.) Starting at the"bottom" of the pine cone lay almonds down flat on cream cheese with narrow end at bottom and wider, rounded end at top.
• Continue with more rows of almonds across the pinecone, slightly overlapping each row on the previous row.
• Remember that branch the pine cone was hanging from?
• Place your piece of evergreen like that.
• Obviously, don't use something poisonous or you can use a piece of silk (artificial) evergreen.
• They make some very attractive ones now.
• Or skip all that, form it into a ball and roll it in chopped pecans.
• Serve at room temperature.
