Paula Deen Cheese Ball Recipe With Cream Cheese
This is a sponsored review from BlogHer and Kraft.
Continuing on with the PHILADELPHIA cream cheese inspired recipes, my friend, Debbie, helped me with another one. This is her mom's cheese ball recipe, which Debbie has been making for years. I bought the ingredients needed for this one and we gathered in Debbie's beautiful blue and white French country inspired kitchen to cook up some tasty food. It was a fun girl's day in! 
I look like I'm the one in charge, but really it's Debbie, since this is her mom's recipe. I let her take it away and I photographed and sampled the food. 🙂 She's a great friend! 
Here's a little peek at her pretty kitchen. She has loved blue and white forever and it is sprinkled throughout. 
Her large pot rack holds some nifty copper pieces. 
And she had these wonderful drawers installed on the other side of her peninsula which stores large plates that her family uses all the time. Brilliant!
Who doesn't love a cheese ball for tasty bites at a party?
Cream cheese and shredded cheddar go in first. 
Dump in the blue cheese. This gives it a savory kick. 
Mix all that together, add the hot sauce. 
And paprika. 
Those big mixers sure make this an easy task. 
Once it's all blended, take out a bunch and roll it into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill.
Forming the ball.
Here's all 4 of them waiting to be chilled.
Once chilled for at least an hour, roll them in chopped pecans.
And prepare to say YUM! This is a wonderful savory treat for parties or just an every day treat. I hope you will try it.
