I first shared this in 2016. I made this recipe for many years before following a low-carb ketogenic lifestyle. Now, instead of Ritz crackers, I serve it with veggies and low-carb crackers. It’s always a hit!
When I was little, my grandma made the best Cheeseball I’ve ever tasted! Every holiday, she served that Cheeseball with Ritz crackers. We all enjoyed snacking on it before the big dinner. I think you could ask anyone in our family, and they would fondly remember the Cheeseball. Oh, how I wish I had that recipe, but I’ve never been able to replicate it. She was an excellent cook and knew many of her recipes by heart. I spent so much time with my grandparents as a child. It’s comforting cooking things she may have liked. I dedicate this Cheeseball recipe to the memory of my wonderful grandma, Ida Mae, who is in heaven.❤️ I hope you enjoy it!
