HAM AND CHEDDAR CHEESE BALL

As I was asking my husband his opinion on this cheese ball he said he rarely meets a cheese ball he doesn’t like. This one is so simple and good! That’s why I love it. I have a couple of cheese balls on this site. You could make a football out of any of them like this Hawaiian Cheese Ball or even this sweet Peanut Butter Cheese Ball.

If you’re not already planning your menu for the big game, you might want to check out all of the football food I have. It happens to be my favorite. It doesn’t have to be pretty, utensils are never required, and it’s dang good.
