Three-in-One Cheese Ball

When you need a festive appetizer, this cheese ball can fill the bill.  When you want something neat for a snack for a crowd or for a party or special event, this cheese ball is sure to please your guests.

You can make this into one large cheese ball or serve it in three smaller sections.  You can roll the ball in parsley, nuts, or pepper.  I’ve also used bacon. Sometimes, as in the photo above, I have not used any garnish.

Just mix all the ingredients together in a mixer, and it’s ready to go.
