Bacon and Dill Pickle Cheese Ball

Bacon and Dill Pickle Cheese Ball

Set this cheese ball out at a party and it will disappear like magic before your eyes. I like to serve it with plain potato chips or real dill pickle-flavored potato chips instead of the artificially flavored ones. Crackers and raw veggies work too.

  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese-flavored pretzels
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions

Step 1
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, diced dill pickles, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, dill pickle juice, green onions, paprika, and dried dill in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Form mixture into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.

Step 2
Just before serving, place pretzels in a food processor and pulse until bread crumb consistency. Combine pretzel crumbs and bacon on a flat plate.

Step 3
Roll the cheese ball in the pretzel mixture until all sides are coated.

Cook’s Note:

The cheese ball gets better as it sits and is best if you refrigerate it overnight.
