Set this cheese ball out at a party and it will disappear like magic before your eyes. I like to serve it with plain potato chips or real dill pickle-flavored potato chips instead of the artificially flavored ones. Crackers and raw veggies work too.

Ingredients

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup sour cream
1 cup diced dill pickles
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
3 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese-flavored pretzels
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, diced dill pickles, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, dill pickle juice, green onions, paprika, and dried dill in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Form mixture into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
Just before serving, place pretzels in a food processor and pulse until bread crumb consistency. Combine pretzel crumbs and bacon on a flat plate.
Roll the cheese ball in the pretzel mixture until all sides are coated.

Cook's Note:

The cheese ball gets better as it sits and is best if you refrigerate it overnight.
