Cheese Ball Recipe

Happy National Cheese Ball day! Wine and cheese are one of those classic pairs, like peanut butter and jelly, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and coffee and doughnuts. We are a Midwestern family with Midwestern culinary heritage. When going to a party or hosting a holiday event, our family has always had a Cheese Ball on the table. We looked through Grandma Pour’s recipe books and she shared some of her favorite Cheese Ball recipes.
