Bacon Jalapeño Cheese Ball

Bacon Jalapeno Cheese Ball is the perfect appetizer. Creamy, with a rich and cheesy flavor.
Have you ever had a cheese ball before? This recipe will surely knock your socks off! This bacon jalapeno cheese ball is the perfect appetizer for any gathering like my Bacon Jalapeño Popper Wonton Cups. Loaded with cheese, jalapenos, and bacon, the jalapenos give it just a little kick.

I had never really had a cheese ball before until I had one at a friend's house and fell in love. I could seriously make a meal out of just this. I like to leave the seeds in the jalapenos for a little extra heat, but you can tone it down by removing them. It's an easy make-ahead appetizer, that will definitely be a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with crackers, but pretzels or even fresh veggies would be delicious too.

I have a few different cheese ball recipes that I've made in the last couple of years for a Christmas appetizer. Garlic Roasted Onion Cheese Ball, Chocolate Chip Cheese Ball, Dill Pickle Cheese Ball.
