Cheese Ball

First I want to apologize for not posting in such a long time! We had company for 2 weeks over Thanksgiving. The good news is, I have a bunch of recipes and pictures to share with you. To tide you over until then, here is a very yummy cheese ball recipe. There isn't a picture because out of the 4 I made for Thanksgiving, none of them lasted long enough to take a picture of. I really didn't use any special gadget either so this post is just a recipe. I have made this Cheeseball many times. Sometimes I make 2 medium sized balls and sometimes I make 1 big one. If you make the 2 medium sized, you'll need more than 1 cup of pecans to cover them. If you are going to make a double batch, I highly recommend doing each batch separate. It is a little hard on your mixer to mix them both at the same time - trust me!! This is also a fun recipe to do with kids. My niece had a great time being in charge of making sure the entire outside of every cheese ball was covered in pecans.
Enjoy!
