I found this one on <http://allrecipes.com> a few years ago. It's
consistently been a hit every time I've made it since.
Herman Reunion Cheese Ball
Submitted by: Ann
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1. In an electric food processor or blender, combine cream cheese,
garlic, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Blend well. Add
Cheddar cheese and process until the Cheddar is fine, but still very
visible. Shape the mixture into balls or logs. Wrap individually in
plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
2. While the balls are in the freezer, combine the ground pecans and
parsley in a shallow bowl. Remove the balls from the freezer and roll
them in the pecan and parsley mixture.

Here's one that is always a hit with folks around here. I don't know the
origin of it, other than a friend's daughter started making it while she
was in hotel/restaurant management school.

Well this is what I settled on and it is good:
I started with this Recipe
Herman Reunion Cheese Ball
Submitted by: Ann
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1. In an electric food processor or blender, combine cream cheese,
garlic, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Blend well. Add
Cheddar cheese and process until the Cheddar is fine, but still very

2. While the balls are in the freezer, combine the ground pecans and
parsley in a shallow bowl. Remove the balls from the freezer and roll
them in the pecan and parsley mixture.
I modified it by:
reducing it to 2- 8 oz pkgs of cream cheese
using 1 lb of shreded very sharp old white cheddar.
2 cloves of garlic minced (fat cloves).
a good tbsp or so of hot sauce and the same of worchestershire sauce.
2 diced roasted pimentoes (1 small jar)
replaced the pecans with pine nuts.
didn't use the parsley.
I minced the garlic and diced the peppers added the hot sauce and
worchestrt to my food processor and pulsed a bit. Added the cream cheese
pulsed even more it blend well. I then added the cheddar in 3 additions
pulsing well between. Put it in the fridge and rolled in the pine nuts.
very good with crackers.
Could ya please not Capitalize indiscriminately.
