  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • Next, add the ingredients that give it that jalapeño popper flavor. Lower the mixer speed and add: 2/3 cup of the cheddar cheese2/3 cup of the chopped bacon, half of your minced jalapeños, and half of your chopped green onions.
    Put the rest of the cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and green onions in the fridge for later. You’ll use them to coat the outside of the cheese ball. Mix everything for about a minute until it’s well combined.

  • Place two pieces of plastic wrap on your counter so they overlap in a T shape. Put the cheese mixture in the center. Gather the wrap’s sides and shape the mixture into a firm, even ball with your hands. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This helps the flavors blend and keeps the ball firm.
  • When you’re ready to serve, spread the reserved cheese, bacon, jalapeños, and green onions on a plate. Roll the chilled cheese ball in the mixture, pressing gently so the toppings stick.
    Serve with a stack of Ritz crackers and enjoy!
