Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
• 1 ½ cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup spicy cheese-flavored cornmeal snack (such as Cheetos® Flamin' Hot)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat cream cheese, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, pepper Jack, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, hot sauce, parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder with an electric mixer on low speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Beat in remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar until just combined, about 15 seconds.

Step 2

Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Place cheese mixture in the center of the plastic wrap. Pull up edges of the plastic wrap to shape the mixture into a ball. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.

Step 3

Crush snack chips and place in a shallow dish. Unwrap the cheese ball and roll in crushed chips, pressing gently to coat. Serve immediately.
