Notes

  • Use spicy pickles to kick the cheese ball up a notch.
  • Serve with corned beef slices to make this dish the Minnesotan way dontcha know.
  • To make individual servings, before you form the big ball, use a small scoop or tablespoon to form smaller balls. Then roll in the dill. Serve with pretzel sticks to make an easy walking app.
