Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup sour cream
1 cup diced dill pickles
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
3 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried dill
1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese-flavored pretzels
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Directions
Combine cream cheese, sour cream, diced dill pickles, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, dill pickle juice, green onions, paprika, and dried dill in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Form mixture into a ball. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
Just before serving, place pretzels in a food processor and pulse until bread crumb consistency. Combine pretzel crumbs and bacon on a flat plate.
Roll the cheese ball in the pretzel mixture until all sides are coated.
Cook's Note:
The cheese ball gets better as it sits and is best if you refrigerate it overnight.
