Ingredients

  • 16 Oz Cream Cheese Room Temperature
  • 1 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ Cup Shredded Pepperjack Cheese
  • 8 Slices of Bacon Finely Chopped, Cooked, and Divided
  • 2 Fresh Jalapenos Seeded, Finely Chopped, and Divided
  • ¼ Cup Green Onions Sliced
  • 1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp Fresh Lime Juice

Instructions

  • Add the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, half of the bacon, half of the jalapeños, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and lime juice to a large bowl. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  • Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to shape.
  • Transfer the mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a ball. Wrap it tightly, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Combine the remaining bacon and jalapeños in a shallow dish.
  • Roll the cheese ball in the bacon-jalapeño mixture, gently pressing the coating onto the surface. Serve with crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Let the cheese ball sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving so it is easier to spread.
