Cooking Directions
-
Beat cream cheese, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, pepper Jack, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, hot sauce, parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar until just combined, about 15 seconds.
-
Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Place cheese mixture in the center of the plastic wrap. Pull up edges of the plastic wrap to shape the mixture into a ball. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
-
Crush snack chips and place in a shallow dish. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll in crushed chips, pressing gently to coat. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Notes:
It is best to buy blocks of cheese and shred yourself for this recipe as they tend to blend better than pre-shredded, resulting in a creamier mixture.
Cheese ball can be made up to 3 days ahead; roll in crushed Cheetos just before serving.
