Tell me-- is there anything out there that doesn't taste delicious with bacon? Just the word makes me want to drop everything and eat. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I went home to Florida for Thanksgiving this year to find a beautiful sphere of cheeses and bacon, accompanied with miniature toasty bites of bagel chips. This recipe is the perfect substitute for boring slabs of cheese and takes just a little longer to make than slicing squares of white and yellow from a ziplock plastic package. Trust me, this will be the new party favorite!
16 ounces cream cheese - softened
½ pound grated sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped green onions
8 slices bacon – cooked and crumbled
½ tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic minced
3 tablespoons pimiento – minced
3 tablespoons parsley - minced
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and blend well. The best tool for blending is clean hands.
Form into 1 or 2 balls and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or even better, overnight.
Serve with crackers, pita bread wedges or bagel slices.
