Ingredients:

• 2 packages of cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp of Silver Spring Prepared Horseradish
• 1 cup of finely shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• cracked black pepper

• 1 cup bacon

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, Silver Spring Prepared Horseradish, shredded cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper. Set the topping ingredients aside for later.

3. Shape the mixture into a football by gently molding it with your hands.
4. Once shaped, transfer the cheese ball to a plate or tray. Sprinkle the bacon bits, pecans, and green onions evenly over the surface, pressing them gently so they stick.
