Jalapeno Cheese Ball
Today we are going to talk about one of my favorite appetizers. A different variation of the Jalapeno Cheese Ball.
This is one of the best tasting cheese ball’s that I have tried. So stay with me and you will be able to make this in about 35 minutes.
The Blends
This Jalapeno Bacon Cheese Ball is a velvety, delicate cream cheddar and Monterey Jack ball blended in with a little flavor from jalapeños and sour cream, rolled in crunchy bacon, jalapenos, and more cheese for added flavor. This is the ideal hors d’oeuvre for any occasion!
This is another rendition of the Jalapeno Cheeseball that I previously posted. This one has the added Monterey Jack cheese which is a perfect compliment to the cheddar cheese.
I always have loved things that are spicy, so when I find a recipe with jalapeños, I have to give it a try. The cream cheese helps tone down the jalapeños and gives it just enough of a kick to give it amazing flavor.
This Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Ball was hands down one of the best cheese balls I have ever had!
All the things that I love about a dip were packed inside and out of this cheeseball. Cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, bacon, and jalapeños, all came together to make this a delicious cheese ball that you will not be able to get enough of.
You will be the talk of the party when you bring this Jalapeno cheese ball.

I don’t see how much jalapeño to add. Did I miss something?
I do apologize. You need 2 jalapenos, then set about 1/8 of it aside for the outside.
Isn’t this a recipe for cheese dip? Have never seen a cheese ball get baked until bubbly…..
I do apologize. Somehow 2 recipes got merged while working on transferring to our new recipe cards. I have updated the directions. Yes it is a cheeseball, so you are correct, we don’t need to cook it.
