    Bacon-Broccoli Cheese Ball, Meet the Cook: Needing a quick appetizer one night when dinner was running late, I combined a few leftovers into this easy cheese ball For variety, you can shape it into a log, or substitute favorite herbs for the pepper , This is a great tasty cheeseball! I didn’t want the broccoli to be raw so I sauteed it just a bit with the bacon before adding it to the cheese I also took your suggestion and mixed the bacon in with the cheese, then rolled the mixture in chopped parsley before serving Thanks for sharing your recipe!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    1. in a Bowl, Beat Cream Cheese, Cheddar Cheese and Pepper Until Blended. Stir in Broccoli. Shape Into a Ball and Roll in Bacon. Cover and Refrigerate.

    2
    Done

    2. Remove from the Refrigerator 15 Minutes Before Serving. Serve With Crackers.

    3
    Done

    My Note: used 3/4 Teaspoons Fresh Ground Garlic Pepper Instead and Also as Others Had Suggested Added the Bacon to the Cheese Ball, Then Rolled It in Parsley Before Serving.

    4
    Done

    I Like to Grate Cheddar Cheese Because It Mixes Into the Cream Cheese Better. I Also Just Mix the Bacon Pieces Into the Ball, That Way Every One Gets Bacon With Their Cheese.

    5
    Done

    I Made This as One on My Appetizers For a Large Group. It Was Very Good. Most Cheese Balls Are Rolled in Nuts Preventing Allergy Sufferers from Having Some. This Was Great Because These People Could Actually Enjoy This Appetizer. I Would Recommend It to Others.

    6
    Done

    I Served This With 2 Other Appetizers So It Didn't Get All Eaten but It Was Over Half Gone. I Did Steam the Broccoli First Just Because I Prefer the Flavor of Cooked to Raw. I Also Added Some Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb Seasoning and Paprika Just to Add a Little Spice.
