  • 1 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

  • Shape ingredients into a ball using a rubber spatula.
  • TO MAKE THIS CHEESE BALL EVEN PRETTIER, ADD A QUICK CRUMBLE LAYER ON THE OUTSIDE.
    Simply chop up some extra onions, pecans, bacon and mix with extra cheese to make a pretty layer that ensures you get some great flavor in those first few bites.
