• 2 (8 ounce) packages philadelphia cream cheese
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (mild or sharp)
• 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons diced pimentos
• 2 tablespoons of diced onions (fresh)
• 2 tablespoons of diced green peppers
• 1 teaspoon tabasco sauce
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup slivered almonds

Recipe

• 1 let cream cheese soften to room temperature. mix cream cheese with shredded cheddar. add all other ingredients except the almonds. mix well. this may take some effort.
• 2 shape into a ball, and then coat with the almonds. let it chill in the fridge until it is more firm. (an hour or so). serve with crackers. my favorite are the wheat thins.
• 3 note: for the christmas holidays, form cheese into a wreath shape by putting it on a platter, and use a drinking glass to shape a hole in the middle. fill the hole with assorted nuts, and add extra pimentos and green peppers around it to make it look christmasty. then you can call it a cheese wreath!
