Serve this BBQ Bacon Cheese Ball with some crackers and you have a great appetizer for your guests.
Not too long ago, I was asked to cater a family event for a few dozen people. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to bring to the party but needed some inspiration. This BBQ Bacon Cheese Ball recipe was inspired by all the other Cheese Ball recipes floating around the internet.
While this cheese ball recipe is easy to make, it does require a couple of hours in the refrigerator for it to set. So make sure you plan accordingly. You can't wait till the last minute for this one!
Just serve with some crackers and you have a great appetizer for your guests. For other great appetizers, check out my collection here. I love my Green Pepper Jelly on crackers. Super Yummy!
