This is my sister-in-law's cheese ball recipe. Everybody loves it!

VickyÂs Cheese Ball

For a small ball:

1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese (you can use low fat)

1 round container of flavoured cream cheese such as garlic and herbs

Cut about ½ to 1 cup of Black Forest ham into little cubes (has to be the whole ham, not the sliced one)

About 3 dill pickles cut into cubes

Worcestershire sauce, about 4 squirts

Shred about 1 cup of cheddar or marble cheese

Parsley, fresh or dried

Garlic powder, about 1 teaspoon

Keep about ½ cup of shredded cheese aside to put around the ball. Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl. When itÂs well combined, roll into a ball.

Take plastic wrap and put the reserved cheese on it; roll the cheese ball on the cheese until itÂs all covered with cheese. Wrap it and itÂs ready to go. Serve with assorted crackers.

NOTE: Have your cream cheese at room temperature and beat it with an electric mixer to "fluff" it up a bit.
