Everything Bagel Cheese Ball
It's Superbowl Sunday! That means you are probably getting together with some friends, eating appetizers and cheering on your favorite team. Or maybe you are not into football and just there for the food, like I am.
I love football food; wings and pizza and of course all the dips. Last year I made Buffalo Chicken Dip for the first time, and it has become a staple in our house. This year, I got in touch with my inner '50s housewife and tried my hand at a cheese ball. I am happy to say, no one was disappointed.
So this cheese ball is a little different. I was inspired by the Trader Joe's Everything Bagel Seasoning everyone keeps talking about. The nearest Trader Joe's to my house is an hour away, and I did not want to wait for Amazon to ship it to me, so I made my own version at home.
Then I needed to figure out what to put it on, and POOF! Inspiration lead me to this cheese ball.
It was incredibly easy to make. Just make sure your cream cheese is softened already, and your bacon crispy and fried. You will end up with a great cold cheese "dip" and can relax to watch the game, or just snack.
