Surprise Cheese Ball 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream 2 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup chopped green onions 1 package (3 ounces) chicken ramen noodles 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley Assorted crackers
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, onions and contents of seasoning mix from ramen noodles; beat until fluffy. Finely crush the noodles. Add noodles and pecans to cream cheese mixture; mix well. Shape into a ball; roll in parsley. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. Serve with crackers. Yield: 1 cheese ball (2-1/2 cups).
Just a note �?it will seem somewhat runny for a cheese ball �?BR>but as it sits �?the moisture is absorbed into the noodles. If you serve it right away �?it's really crunchy (Tastes great). If you want an actual ball shape - you might want to refrigerate, then form into a ball. The longer it sits the softer the noodles get. I had everyone stumped at work. They couldn't guess the secret ingredient. (I also added about ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese to it.)
