Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I used Boars Head Vermont Cheddar)
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup minced jalapeno (seeds and membrane optional for heat)
• 1/4 cup crumbled bacon

Directions

• In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup cheddar cheese, cream cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, jalapeno, and bacon. Using a #60 small cookie scoop or by hand, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
• In another bowl, add the remaining 1 cup cheese. Roll each ball into the cheese, covering as much as you can. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving with crackers.
