Description

These Chili-Cheese Balls are the ultimate crowd-pleasing appetizer, combining sharp cheddar cheese with the zesty kick of green chilies. The dough comes together quickly with butter and flour, creating a tender, savory bite that holds its shape beautifully when baked. They are perfect for game day gatherings, holiday parties, or as a fun snack with friends. The contrast between the creamy cheese interior and the slightly crisp exterior makes each bite irresistible. Serve them warm for the best flavor, perhaps with a side of salsa or sour cream for dipping. Simple to prepare yet impressive to serve, these bites disappear fast.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter or margarine, flour, salt, shredded cheddar cheese, and drained green chilies.
  3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 3/4-inch in diameter.
  5. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet or baking pan.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the balls are set and lightly golden.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.
