Whenever I bring this zippy cheese ball to church functions, showers and parties, folks always ask for the recipe. A deliciously different appetizer, it makes even a plain plate of crackers seem festive.

A favorite!! I made a few changes. Used green onion instead of white onion which is too strong, doubled the colby jack cheese, used fresh minced garlic and chopped jalepeno instead of red pepper, if you like it spicy.

The first time I made it following the directions came out disgusting and very spicy. The next time around I doubled the Colby-Jack cheese, used 2tbsp of cilantro, instead of grated fresh onion which was over powering I rehydrated dried onions and used 2tbsps. 1/2 tbsp of chili powder and eliminated the red pepper flakes and the hot sauce. I have made it several times since the changes and my whole family LOVES it! Even my 2 yr old. It has a little bit of kick, but not much. My husband doesn't like spicy foods and he will eat this.

I just made this and it is absolutely DELICIOUS! So flavorful, but not spicy. I served it with Wheat Thins.
