Bacon Cheddar Cheese Ball

A friend of mine gave me this recipe several years ago.  I was looking for a cheeseball recipe the other night and didn't have a lot of ingredients on hand.  When I stumbled across this one in my recipe box, I knew I had what I needed to make this one (with a few substitutions).  It's been a while since I made this and I forgot how good it is and so easy!  Below, you will find the original recipe along with my substitutions.



 Mix 2 8 oz. pkgs. of cream cheese with 1/2 cup mayo, 1 T. sugar, and a few dashes of onion flakes.

 Add in crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese and mix well!
