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.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 cup diced dill pickles
- 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.
