Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese {softened}
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese {I used Colby-Jack}
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños {finely chopped}
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 10 slices bacon {cooked, drained & finely chopped}

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, jalapenos & spices.  Stir until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Place a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter and add the cheese mixture to the middle.  Gather the corners of plastic wrap and shape the cheese mixture into a ball.
  • Place in refrigerator for 10 minutes or until ready to serve.
  • Add chopped bacon to a large plate in an even layer.  Remove cheese ball from wrap and place on top of the bacon.  Gently roll in bacon until completely coated, you may have to use your hands to cover completely.
  • Serve on a plate with crackers or veggies and enjoy.
