Recipe Instructions:

  1. Dissolve Bouillon: Start by dissolving the beef bouillon powder in boiling water. This step infuses the cheese ball with savory flavor.

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheese spread, finely chopped onions, and the dissolved beef bouillon. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. This mixture will form the base of your cheese ball.

  3. Form into Ball: Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap and scoop the cheese mixture onto it. Using the plastic wrap, mold the mixture into a ball shape. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to secure the ball shape. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the cheese ball to firm up.

  4. Serve: Once chilled, unwrap the cheese ball from the plastic wrap and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped onions or herbs if desired. Serve alongside an assortment of crackers or breadsticks for dipping.

Tips:

  • For a variation, try rolling the chilled cheese ball in chopped nuts or crispy bacon bits before serving.
  • Customize the flavor by adding your favorite herbs or spices to the cheese mixture. Chopped chives, parsley, or garlic powder can add an extra layer of deliciousness.
  • Make ahead: This cheese ball can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh.
  • Feel free to adjust the quantities of ingredients according to your taste preferences. Add more cheese spread for extra creaminess, or increase the amount of onions for a stronger flavor.
  • This recipe can easily be halved if you’re serving a smaller crowd. Simply divide all the ingredients in half and follow the same instructions.
