Would have been nice if the cilantro was listed in the ingredients so when you added them to your shopping list it showed up.
Kenneth Meyer
Delicious and a beautiful presentation. I made 2 cheeseballs for a baby shower. This one looked gorgeous on the table and I had many requests for the recipe.

Made this for the families Christmas get together. It was a hit! Added a little green onion and some extra pepper jack cheese. Shaped it like a tree and covered it in cilantro. Used some of the left overs as the cheese in a ham and cheese omelet. Outstanding.
William Manning
I have made different cheese balls over the years, but this is by far the best!! I omitted the green pepper, and used red pepper instead, running it through my food processor along with the jalapeño. I’ll be making this several times over the Holidays!
Steven Jacobs
Delicious!

Just made this for our new neighbors who stopped by for a glass of wine. Delicious. I only used 1/4 of a whole Jalepeno. Glad I did. It was just perfect.

While this was ok for a cheeseball, if you like spicy food, this will be too bland. The flavor improved after a couple of days in the fridge, but I would use serrano and up the worcestershire sauce and possibly add some tobasco if I were to make it again.
Rachel Andrews
This recipe was a hit!! I added a little more cheese then was written down and also I minced 2 cloves of garlic into it instead of adding the garlic salt. I rolled the ball in cilantro and chopped walnuts. I made two cheese balls with this recipe.
Claudia Kennedy
I changed the sour cream to greek yogurt, added 1 teaspoon of dried onions and 1/2 teaspoon of dried garlic bits and rolled in dried dill. this was a hit at our large family gathering. Will make again with the changes

Great cheese ball. The only change I made was that I rolled it in finely chopped walnuts. That’s what my mom always did with her cheese balls when I was a kid. I just like the texture the nuts add. I also used sharp cheddar and let it sit in the frig overnight. A good quick cheese ball recipe.
Cody Schneider
Excellent! Served this at church and it disappeared. I did not have any pepper jack so I left that out. It was pleasantly spicy but didn’t make my eyes or nose run, perfect!
Christina Christensen
Have passed this recipe on numerous times to family & friends. I even get requests to make it. I mix mine and serve in a bowl which makes for easy clean-up. Keep in the fridge overnight before serving – the longer it rests, the better.
Charles Wolf
I’ve made it twice now, both times I’ve had RAVE reviews. Eveyone loves it…including ME!!!!
Jeremiah Brown
LOVE LOVE LOVE this spicy cheeseball!! A gotta try!!!
Natalie Bennett
This is the absolutely easiest cheeseball recipe ever. The only change I made to it was to add more chopped peppers. Warning – this is very addictive!
Cindy Harmon
Great taste. Zesty!! Try adding one finely chopped green onion in place of half the jalapeno pepper. Crush in some garlic in place of garlic salt. If you don’t have worcestershire, put in equal parts A-1 and soy sauce. Delicious!!
Bryan Meyer
My daughter first made this for Thanksgiving when she was 11…it’s that easy. Now it’s a tasty tradition.
Kathleen Wilson
Delish! I only had regular cheddar so I just used more of it, omitted the jalapenos and peppers and put in some chopped dill pickles, yum!
Matthew Floyd
This one is akeeper. Evreyone loves it. It is spicy so forewarn those who dont like spice.
Paul Martinez
This was a great recipe! I used more of both cheeses due to personal preference. I brought this to a party and everyone loved it.
Glenn Gray
Very tasty!!! I cut the recipe down because I only wanted to use one 8oz package of cream cheese. I shredded half a brick of pepperjack cheese and added about that much of shredded cheddar cheese. I used a serrano pepper for more heat, very YUMMY! I just realized I left the worch. sauce out…
