My cousin Patti gave me her Cheese Ball recipe and I couldn’t wait to share it with you. It has creole seasoning and packed with chopped ham and then rolled in a generous amount of chopped pecans. It’s definitely party size! Make sure you add this to your holiday appetizer list or take it to your next party. Guests will love it! Serve with your favorite cracker and sliced apple if you’d like.
