Looking for easy cheese ball recipes made with cream cheese....?!
Scallions, chopped black olives, cream cheese, cup grated cheese, dash garlic powder, dash onion powder, dash white pepper, dash salt. Blend together. shape into ball. serve with crackers. Optional: roll in chopped nuts.
Also, if you like cream cheese, here are two of my favorite all time cream cheese recipes:
Grilled Cream cheese sandwiches:
Cut very fresh french bread into 1/2 inch slices. Butter one side of each, put one side on pan. Cut a chunk of cream cheese to taste (mine are about 1/4 in to 1/2 inch thick). Spread on the bread. Top with the best tomatoes you can find. Salt and pepper. Add the other slice of bread, buttered side up. Grill one side until brown. Flip over, grill the other side until brown.
MMMMMmmmmm.
Cream Cheese Dip
This is the best and easiest dip recipe, and people always rave! I tell them it’s really hard to make (lol):
2 large blocks of cream cheese
1 large jar Pace picante (medium)-use most of the jar
Soften cream cheese and mix with hand mixer until smooth. Add picante and mix with hand mixer. Leave in frig for a few hours to blend flavors. Serve with tortilla chips.
I know it seems too simple to be great, but it is!

Here are two of my favorite cheese ball recipes:
8 oz. Package of cream cheese
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dip/dressing mix
Mix together. Shape into a ball. Roll in coarse black pepper. Serve with crackers (I like Sociables crackers)
8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 jar of dried beef (chopped)
1-2 green onions chopped
dash of garlic salt
Mix together. Shape into a ball. Serve with crackers. I like this one plain. (i.e. not rolled in anything.)
Every time we had people over when I was little, it was my job to make a cheese ball. Here are the ones people liked the most:
Add the following ingredients to a package of softened cream cheese:
- 8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese & 1/4 tsp garlic powder. Form into ball, let chill in the fridge a few hours, then roll in diced pecans to cover the ball.
- 8 oz shredded swiss cheese, 2 TBS onion soup mix, couple of green onions, minced. Form into ball, chill, cover with toasted almonds.
- 4 oz shredded cheddar, 1/2 c salsa (drained), 1/4 tsp cumin. Form into ball, chill. Cover with chopped cilantro or crushed tortilla chips.
