Preparation

Step 1

Beat cream cheese until smooth with an electric mixer.

Add Cheddar. Shredding your own cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese creates a creamier texture. Beat just until blended.

Mix in remaining ingredients except the walnuts and crackers.

Place mixture on plastic wrap and shape into a ball; chill thoroughly.

Roll chilled cheese ball in chopped walnuts.

Serve with crackers.

Can be made ahead of time to allow flavors to blend.
