The Guest Kitchen: Southwest Veggie Cheeseball aka Pumpkin Cheeseball from Tara McCausland

 At Thanksgiving this year, one of the most popular dishes was actually a cheeseball. It was amazing! And so cute! A pumpkin shaped cheeseball with a southwest flare. I would have sworn this had Rotel in it, but it didn't! By the end of the day everyone was asking for the recipe!


The Ingredients:

8oz cream cheese
8oz veggie cream cheese
2 TBSP spicy ranch mix
3 green onions, sliced
1 red pepper diced
2 C sharp shredded cheddar cheese

The recipe:

Combine the cream cheeses. 
Stir in 2 TBSP of the spicy ranch mix, green onions, red pepper, and 1 C of cheddar. 
Spread out cling wrap.
Sprinkle a 1/4 C of the cheddar onto the cling wrap and top with the cheeseball.
Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on the top and sides of the cheeseball.
Wrap with cling wrap in a ball. 
Place in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours. 

During the fall holidays you can shape this into a pumpkin, or you can just leave it as a ball. Take it from me this cheeseball was amazing! You should try it for your next gathering!
