Tuna Cheese Ball

The Cheese Ball.  It isn't really my thing, despite the fact that I like putting just about any cheese on a cracker...and I've had many a quick tuna lunch or dinner. That doesn't necessarily mean that the two can go together though, right?  Turns out this is pretty delish. SO wanted a cheese ball to eat over the Christmas holidays, and so found a recipe similar to this. It had pecans which I decided to drop, and also green pepper which SO cannot digest. I also bumped up the hot sauce and horseradish, and ended up with this. It is also not technically a "ball", although I sort of like the shape. It seems more conducive to eating on a small plate.

Next time: I would put more celery for crunch, and bump up the hot sauce and Worcestershire.

Tuna Cheese Ball

  • 1 Tbsp horseradish (the kind from a jar)

  • hot sauce to taste

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients.
  2. Shape into a ball, or a sort-of ball. You can use plastic wrap to form it fairly tightly.
