BACON BLUE CHEESE FOOTBALL CHEESE BALL

I’m gonna be honest – I have no idea what the state of the NFL is right now. Like is the regular season happening? Or is Covid messing that up, too? Importantly, is the Super Bowl happening?! I really should google this. Regardless, this Bacon Blue Cheese Football Cheese Ball is not only perfect for game day, but any occasion that one might have a cheese plate for!

The cheese plate that I made this football cheese ball for was pretty epic. It had all of my favorite game day foods – buffalo chicken dip, cheese curds, little smokies, and guacamole. I have to say, the bacon blue cheese football cheeseball was definitely the star of the show!

Ingredients

1 lb bacon cooked and chopped

16 ounces cream cheese at room temperature

1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese *save a few shreds for the football laces

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onion

Instructions

In a bowl, mix together approximately half of the bacon with the cream cheese, white cheddar, blue cheese, and green onions.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will make it easier to shape the football cheese ball.

When ready, shape the mixture into a football.

Press the remaining crumbled bacon on the outside of the cheese ball and use the white cheddar shreds to make "laces"

Serve with crackers and veggies. Enjoy!
