It tastes just like home! I consider this to be one of my traditional family recipes. Now my own family enjoys it just as much as I always have.
It’s one of our favorite Christmas traditions. We love to make this on a Christmas movie night and eat it while we watch the movie.
Sometimes we’ll also make some homemade hot chocolate to go with it.
This recipe makes a great appetizer or snack for holiday get-togethers.
Whenever I’m asked to bring a snack or appetizer to a Christmas party, I always think about this holiday cheese ball recipe first.
For one thing, it’s delicious, and it always gets rave reviews (guys especially seem to love it for some reason!).
And, it just tastes delicious! You can’t go wrong with a recipe that’s this easy and also tasty.

December 24, 2015 at 12:52 amIt was just smoked beef (Buddig brand used to sell this but now I can never find it in any store around here) and a packaged bacon and onion dip mix. So I took out the sour cream the original recipe called for and now I use the french onion dip since I can't find the dip mix. The taste is very similar to the original. 🙂
