These is such a delicious and easy to make appetizer. In my opinion it's perfect like this with the amount of jalapeños, but if you are afraid that it might be too spicy for you, go ahead and cut down on the jalapeños.
INGREDIENTS:
2 (8oz pkg) cream cheese, softened
1 cup crumbled cooked bacon
6 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions, finely sliced (a little less than 1/2 cup)
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin
1 tsp worcerstershire sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (you can use pecans)
In a bowl mix together the cream cheese, salt, cumin, worcerstershire sauce, and garlic. Add half the jalapeños (about 3/4 cup), half cup bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix well, and set aside.
In a large plate mix together the walnuts, half cup bacon, and the rest of the jalapeños. Spread these ingredients on the plate and then add the cheese mixture in the center. Shape it into a ball and coat it with the jalapeño-nut-bacon mixture.
Cover the ball with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour. Serve with ritz crackers. Enjoy!
