If you need a quick and easy appetizer stop right here. My Bacon Cheddar Mini Cheese Balls have only 3 ingredients but a ton of flavor. They come together in just 5 minutes.
Microwave the bacon crumbles for about thirty seconds. This crisps them up so they taste fresh. (If you do not have a microwave you can just skip this step or pan fry them for a minute or two).
Stir together the cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop tablespoon sized balls. Roll them in the bacon crumbles. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
