One of my favorite things in life is SNACKS. Seriously, my husband teases me all the time about the fact that I practically eat all day long. I’m definitely a grazer and I love snacks of all kinds–sweet, salty, and anything in between. And today I’m so excited to share one of my favorite snacks of all time–CHEESE BALL! My mom has been making this since I was a little girl and it’s a family favorite. We all love it, so I thought it would be fun to share it with you guys. This is the perfect snack for game day or even a great appetizer for a holiday party. Plus the best part is it only takes five ingredients!
Five Ingredient Classic Cheese Ball
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 blocks of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheese
- 1 tablespoons worchesterchire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (or a bit more if you like it more salty)
Mix everything together in a bowl. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with a variety of crackers and veggies! Store in an air tight container in the fridge.
I think it’s safe to say that cheeseball isn’t the most photogenic food, but you’ll just have to trust me when I saw this stuff is DELICIOUS. And the cool thing about this easy recipe is you can make it with ingredients that are probably already in your fridge! Also, if you’re feeling fancy, try mixing in bacon, peppers, or even pecans. You can add spruce it up with any add-on you like!

Cheeseballs are highly underrated and need to make a comeback!! We always had at least one at all our holiday and family gatherings. My mom rolled hers in chopped nuts & I thought they were the fanciest things ever. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I’ll definitely be giving it a try. Merry Christmas!
Yessss!! So true. They’re underrated! I love the idea of rolling it in chopped nuts. I’ll definitely have to try that!
Is it regular mayo or oliveoil mayo?
either one will work just fine!

Sounds lovely Sarah. I’m going to have this ready for the family to try at our Christmas get together. Thank-you for sharing with all of us. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
how would incorporate pineapple into this and how much? Can fresh pineapple work?
Sounds good!!! I have a really easy cheeseball as well, I’ve made it probably twenty times. Two packages cream cheese, one envelope hidden valley ranch dip mix, mix it up, form a ball, roll it in bacon bits. For fall, I wrap it in Saran and tie rubber bands around to make it look like a pumpkin, then when you serve it, unwrap it and put a stem on top from a bell pepper,good,,,,,
Oh that sounds so good with the ranch dip. I need to try that! Thanks for sharing. xo
Made this and it is very tasty! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
