Ingredients

  • 8 ounces of cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons of butter room temperature
  • 6 ounces of pimento cheese spread
  • 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 3/4 cup of real bacon bits
  • Ritz Crackers

Instructions

  • Combine, cream cheese, butter, pimento cheese, sharp cheddar and smoked paprika in a bowl and mix with a mixer. Once combined, line a bowl with saran wrap and add cheese mixture to the bowl. Chill in refrigerator for an hour, then remove and use form into a ball. Roll ball in bacon bits and serve with Ritz crackers. I used real bacon bits because it cuts down on the grease of fresh made bacon.
