Becky’s Easy Peasy 2-Ingredient Cheese Ball

November 29, 2011 · by

Friend week is continuing on, and today’s recipe is brought to us all by my friend Becky Romines.  Becky is as sweet as they come – and when I asked her to volunteer a recipe, she was quick to the task with one of her most requested recipes, her cheese ball.  

“We all like something quick and easy we can whip up, especially during the holidays. You can’t get much easier than this. I’ve been making this cheese ball for over 20 years and people always want the recipe. The funny thing is, people have called me and asked how to make it.  I’ll tell them ‘cream cheese, Italian dressing mix’, and then they’ll say, ‘what else?’…..when I tell them that’s it, I always get the same response…’That’s it?….Really??’ Like I said, can’t get much easier!” ~Becky Romines

Ingredients:

  • 2 8oz. packs cream cheese
  • 2 packets Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix (Regular or Zesty)



Instructions:


Soften cream cheese just enough so that you can roll it and work with it.

Press the 2 blocks of cream cheese together, using 1 pack of the dressing mix, sprinkle a little at a time onto the cream cheese, then fold the cream cheese over and sprinkle some more, keep doing this until you’ve used 1 whole pack of the dressing mix and have mixed it all through the cream cheese.



Next, roll the cream cheese into a ball. Now sprinkle the other pack of dressing mix onto a plate or a piece of wax paper or foil, and roll the cheese ball all around in it to coat the outside of it.




Serve with Wheat Thins and Triscuits, or crackers of your choice.

    I’ve made this for years except I use 12 oz. ( small & lg pkg) and 1 pkg of Italian Dressing. Now for the new thing for you to try with this: I shape into the shape of a pear (not hard) then coat in peperika ( original recipe called for Cayenne but I found to totally coat it and you need to cover completely for the affect was too hot and the peperika doesn’t have that much taste just enough) After shaping into pear put a thin cinnamon stick and a Bay leaf in top of the pear. So easy and you want believe the oohs and aaas! A must do for the Holidays! This presentation looks so great you may want to change your pic!
