  • Prep Time: 15 mins
  • Total Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

12 oz Cream Cheese, softened
8 oz Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
2 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
¼ tsp Seasoned Salt
1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
3 Tbsp Thinly Sliced Green Onions
6 slices Bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
2 cups Finely Crushed Cheez-it Crackers
2 Tbsp (from a 4 Oz. Jar) Sliced Pimento Peppers, well drained
1× 7 oz. pkg Carr's Whole Wheat Crackers
1× 5 oz. pkg Carr's Rosemary Crackers

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, seasoned salt, and Worcestershire sauce on low speed until well mixed. Stir in green onions and bacon. Cover and chill for 1 hour. Use damp hands to shape the cheese mixture into a ball. Spread crushed crackers in a 5-inch circle on a sheet of plastic wrap. Use the plastic wrap to press the cheese ball into the shape of a football by flattening the ball and rounding each end, pressing crushed crackers evenly into cheese ball. Place on a serving plate. Arrange the pimento slices on top like laces on a football. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Arrange Carr's crackers around edge of platter before serving.

Helpful Tips:

This may be made into six mini football-shaped cheese balls for individual servings.
