Made this to accompany our appetizers at Thanksgiving - what a hit! Delicious recipe & easy to make. I rolled it in the parsley. YUM!!!

Made a half recipe and everyone loved it. I used about 1/4 cup of diced roasted red pepper, light cream cheese and Italian parsley. It was a tad soft for rolling (perhaps because of the light cream cheese) so I put the parsley on the plastic wrap and added more to the top during molding. Personally I thought it needed a touch more cayenne and a bit of salt (or more worcestershire sauce) but my family loved it the way it was.

I actually didn't try this when I made it for a recent party. I was really busy getting everythig ready, but my guests loved it! Didn't roll it in anything and it actuallly looked pretty good since it had the pretty red specks of roasted red pepper. Thanks!

Lovely cheese ball! I have made this several times and almost always someone asks me for the recipe. It makes a very big recipe, so my tip is to make it around the holidays, and divide it into two balls. Then take one to the office party and one to the family or friend get-together. The green parsley and red pepper make a great seasonal combination! Oh, and I always use chopped garlic instead of powdered. I gives it a little extra kick.

This was very good but it made such a large amount I couldn’t see myself putting a cheese ball on the coffee table the size of a soccer ball! LOL! I divided it in half, rolled one in parsley and the other with chopped walnuts. Next time I am going to use the whole jar of roasted peppers and throw in some curry powder as well. This would be perfect to serve in small crocks as well. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great recipe and super easy!..I followed the advice of doubling the spices and adding 2 tsp of the red pepper juice I also rolled in almonds and pecans instead of parsley.My boyfriend is really hard to please and he LOVED it!This recipie makes ALOT I made 3 medium sized cheese balls instead of one HUGE one..and my boyfriend was upset when I told him I gave away the last one..so it's a keeper! Thank you I will be using it during the holidays now.Next time I will try with some chipotle for a little extra spice

This is a great cheese ball, have made it many times. I omit the rolling in the parsley at the end but add some to the mixture so you still get the green. Looks great and taste great!
