Diana's Cheeseball

2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, room temperature

1/4 c. green bell pepper, finely chopped

1/3 c. dried minced onion

1 Tbl. Miracle Whip

3/4 tsp. dry mustard powder

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. Accent

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. vinegar

1/2 jar (3 Tbl.) Pimento cheese spread

sliced almonds, for rolling

crackers, for serving

Combine all ingredients (except almonds and crackers) and stir together until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Pour sliced almonds onto a plate. Remove cheeseball from fridge and form into a ball and roll in sliced almonds. Serve with desired crackers.

Jenn's Notes: After I mix everything together, I leave on the counter for 20 minutes and stir several times to ensure the dried onions get fully hydrated and don't end up crunchy. Then, I refrigerate until firm and easy to roll into a ball.
