This is a recipe I made last year for a Thanksgiving party -- I'm invited back to the party this year on the condition that I bring this cheese ball! I have to say, though, that the reviewer who suggested adding Worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce (Tabasco) was right on. It really gives it an extra-tasty kick. And Wheat Thins go perfectly with the end result :-)

I used this recipe as the foundation and added a dash of worcheshire and hot pepper sauce to the mixture. It is now my "specialty" that everyone loves! It is easy to make and tastes amazing! Thank you Ellen for inspiring me!

This was so easy, and served with crackers, makes an excellent hors d'ouerve.

this recipe was absolutely fantastic. easy to make and it actually tasted like a cheeseball you would buy. (a lot of cheeseball recipes are good, but you can definitely tell they're mostly cream cheese and homemade; not so with this one.) i laughed when i went to roll the balls, though. i got three, good-sized balls out of it. can't imagine how gigantic one big one would be!

Excellent! I didn't use as many pecans as the recipe requires (about half the amt) but in their place, I did add about 1/4 cup minced celery. Very good...with any kind of cracker. Will make this for many events to come. Thanks Ellen!

I made this for a Christmas party and formed 3 balls into a snowman. I made it the day before and arranged the balls minutes before the party. It was good, not great - the hardest part was to get people to "break" the snowman. I will probably make again due to the ease of the recipe......

This recipe was quite good. I thought the taste improved the second day. I thought it had a salty taste and would decrease the amount of ranch dressing somewhat.

I thought I would try the recipe for my holiday party since it got 5 stars on the reviews... however, I didn't quite see why... it wasn't bad... it was just average at best... my guests agreed with me. I would not make this recipe again.

I have never really been a cheeseball maker, but this one was easy and everyone loved it. The first guests at my party hovered around it until I managed to pull them away to do other things.

I have been told on many occasions that I make a MEAN cheese ball and have 2 basic recipes that I will never get rid of. But, I was bored and wanted to try something new. I tried this one and it was raved about for days after. I've had to share the recipe and this website with everyone who was at the party. Thanks for a new taste sensation!

This was very good and I would probably make it again. It has a flavor that seems to "appeal to the masses", as I received several compliments on it at Thanksgiving.

I've never made a cheese ball before, and this turned out great! Everyone loved it. I used about 2/3 of the ranch dressing mix so the flavor wasn't too overpowering. It was a great party dish!
