Smoked Cream Cheese Ball

Smoked Cream Cheese Ball
We try one of our favorite holiday and party appetizers that we take to big gatherings and this time we put a spin on it. We smoke a few things ahead of time and put it all together in a Smoked Bacon Ranch Cream Cheese Ball! Boy did this turn out amazing! We were inspired by Hey Grill Hey and put our own spin on their recipe with a few things of our own. Thank you for checking out and the recipe is below along with a link to their video.
Recipe:
Items Needed
Bacon (12 oz center cut or regular bacon)
1 or 2 jalapenos (recipe we used one)
2-8 oz blocks of cream cheese
12 oz medium cheddar cheese
8 oz pepper jack cheese
1 tablespoon of your favorite rub (we used dinks chicks and butt rub)
Applewood Rub On Bacon (your favorite sweet/heat rub for bacon)
3 tablespoons of sour cream
1 packet of ranch seasoning
1 cup of pecan halves
On your smoker:
smoke cream cheese, pecans, and bacon (see video)
Divide in separate bowl for outside of cheese ball:
Pecans once smoked
1/3 of smoked bacon
3 oz of the medium cheddar cheese
Once items are smoked we are ready to mix:
8 oz of bacon (4 oz was for outside of cheeseball)
8 oz pepper jack cheese
1 or 2 jalapeños (used one in recipe)
3 tablespoons of sour cream
2-8 oz blocks of cream cheese that was smoked
9 oz of medium cheddar cheese
Mix all items well and form in shape of ball and place in plastic wrap in fridge (see video)
Wait 2-4 hours then roll cheese ball in the mixture that was saved for outside of the cheese ball (bacon, pecans, and cheese)
