Grandma Beverly's Cheese Ball

I made this cheese log (shown above) for Easter and served it at a brunch and a dinner and it was a hit both places. It is my Grandma's recipe and always reminds me of special occasions. The secret is that it is SUPER easy! You can make it in a large ball, two smaller balls, or a log as I did above. I prefer the smaller balls or log since they don't tend to crumble as much.

8 oz. cream cheese
2 C (3/4 lb) cheddar, grated
1 tsp chopped green pepper
3 tsp minced green onion
1 tsp lemon juice
dash of salt
dash of cayenne pepper
1/4 lb chopped walnuts (I used pecans and they were fine)

Mix cream cheese and other ingredients, except grated cheddar, with electric mixer. Then add in grated cheese. Form into a ball or log. Roll in chopped nuts and make sure every inch is covered. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Serve with crackers.

Enjoy!!
