A zesty bleu-cheese, bacon, and onion cheese ball. Best served with multi-grain crackers. The recipe I reworked for this cheese ball called for 1 pound of bacon fried, drained, and crumbled. I didn't have time for all that, so I used the bacon bits and found them at least as good and less mess. Make sure your cream cheese is really soft, or else it is a little hard to mix well. Bon Appetit!

Ingredients

1 (3 ounce) package bacon bits (such as Oscar Mayer®)
3 ounces crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup blue cheese salad dressing, or to taste
2 green onions, chopped
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup dried parsley, or as needed (optional)

Directions

Stir cream cheese, bacon bits, blue cheese, salad dressing, green onions, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Form mixture into 2 balls, cover each with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled and firm, 3 hours or overnight.
Remove cheese balls from plastic wrap and roll in parsley.2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened.
