Deluxe Cheeseball
1/2 to 1 pound soft cheddar cheese(found in dairy stores), or cheddar cold pack, room temperature
1/2 pound cream cheese, room temperature
3 ozs. pimiento cream cheese, room temperature
6 to 8 ozs. crumbled blue cheese for salads, room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly grated or dried minced onion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Chopped nuts or paprika for garnish
Combine all ingredients except nuts or paprika in a large bowl; mix thoroughly with a heavy-duty mixer. Mixture is very thick, so lighter mixers may not be powerful enough unless all cheeses have been at room temperature for quite a few hours.
Refrigerate until firm enough to shape into a ball, apple, or even banana shape.
Garnish with paprika or nuts; decorate accordingly.
Re wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until served.
