I have made this for Thanksgiving for many years and it is very good. It is simple and can be made ahead of time. The cheese balls may seem a little different but paired with the gelatin it is an awesome match! Will keep making this for years to come.

This is an old recipe going back to the 50's or 60's. My mom always made it and I always hated it.
