Bacon Jalapeno Cheese Ball

 

Just grab yourself some cream cheese, bacon (you could even purchase pre-cooked bacon to save on time), jalapenos and some spices from your spice cabinet. What a quick and easy appetizer to offer up. I have never made a cheese ball. I have always been envious when attending gatherings with cheese balls in the spread. I thought they were difficult to make. Not so as I just found out.

Rolling your ball in jalapenos and bacon bits is quite easy just be sure roll it up more evenly than I did, lol. I was anxious to get this ball made and realized I could have done the toppings a bit more uniform.
