8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Worcestershire sauce
Cholula, Tabasco or other hot sauce
chopped pecans
paprika
Mix the cream cheese, garlic, worcestershire sauce and hot sauce together. (Use the sauces to taste, as hot as you like it!). Scoop out the mixture onto Saran wrap, and roll into a ball. Refrigerate for a couple of hours or longer--the flavors will develop and mix, and the garlic will mellow a little bit. When you are ready to serve, roll the ball in the chopped pecans and paprika. Serve with crackers.
I made this cheese ball at the Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws, and we devoured it! We were hovering by the table, barely pausing between bites to breathe and talk to each other. It's really that good. I served it with two types of crackers: Wheat Thins, which were crunchy and salty, and some new Honey Wheat Ritz cracker stick things, which were sweeter and softer. They were both delicious! This is the sort of recipe that I like--quick, easy, and made up of mostly cheese. Yum!
Thanks to Joel and his family for this recipe!
