Along with the ingredients for this cheese ball recipe, you will need crackers to serve with it. Wheat Thins are my favorite for cheese balls-because they are strong. They do not break as easy as other crackers. Ritz and Club crackers are also great with this cheese ball, however they will crumble easier. An appetizer/cheese knife with the cheese ball will help.
When using cream cheese in mixtures, it is so important to allow your cream cheese to soften-to warm up. Allow extra time-take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator about two hours before you want to make the recipe. When cream cheese has warmed up (softened), it will mix smoother and with less lumps.
Ingredients Needed for Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball:
Cream cheese
Liquid Smoke
Sour cream
Cheddar cheese
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Bacon crumbles
How to make a Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball:
Place softened cream cheese in a medium sized mixing bowl.
With an electric mixer, mix softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the liquid smoke, sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
(If desired, you can add some bacon crumbles to the cheese ball mixture before you roll the cheese mixture into a ball and roll it in the bacon crumbles).
Roll cheese mixture into a ball and roll it in the bacon crumbles.
Serve with your favorite crackers and enjoy!. We love Wheat Thins with this cheese ball.
If you have any of this delicious cheese ball is leftover, store it in the refrigerator. It will be good for three to four days.
Another option for this cheese ball would be to…mix the bacon crumbles in with the cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and seasonings mixture. Instead of using the bacon crumbles to coat the cheese ball, chop one half cup of nuts into smaller chunks and roll the cheese ball into the chopped nuts. I like to roll cheese balls in chopped pecans.

Fiesta Dip is a dip we have been making for nearly 30 years. We were introduced to it at a family reunion. They made it differently than I do. They just added sour cream to the seasoning packet.
