Superbowl 2017 will be held in my hometown – Houston, Texas. Even though the Texans lost in the playoffs and WON’T be going to the Superbowl, we always enjoy the game with friends. And what’s a Superbowl Party without a special Superbowl Snack? That’s where my Cajun Cheeseball comes in.
The perfect make-ahead snack for your Superbowl party!” username=”MySideof50″]
The recipe for my Cajun Cheeseball came from a friend many years ago.Β It’s a little spicy and tastes great with Ritz crackers and a cold Lone Star beer. When I serve it, it is usually DEVOURED in a short amount of time!
The best part is that it can be made ahead and frozen.Β No standing over the stove or preparing food once your guests arrive! Give it a try!
Cajun Cheeseball |Β The Ultimate Superbowl Snack
Ingredients for Cajun Cheeseball:

You can’t go wrong with a good cheeseball!
This post brought back great memories of the last Super Bowl party I hosted. I made a couple of cheese balls. Yum. Your food posts make me want to have a party π
Cheeseballs are the best party food. I hope you’ll include this at your next party. I’ll bet you have a house full of football watchers!
Quick and easy is good Cathy and this sounds delicious. My husband likes something with a bit of heat so he will enjoy this I”m sure.
I hope you’ll make it for him!
Wow that looks good, but the Fireball cookies are really calling me. Now I might have to have a Super Bowl party just so I can eat these treats!
Make them both! Those Fireball cookies are my most popular post!
Cheeseballs have a tried and true history as sporting event snacks for T V watchers. My husband would dig it.
I hope you’ll make it for him!
Okay, that looks amazing! I couldn’t care less about the game but I would watch if it meant I got to snack on this!

I’m going to be rooting for your Texans tonight for sure Cathy! And this looks wonderful… I love football as well and the Cowboys, my team, finally have a chance! Thanks for a yummy post.
Margaret – well neither the Texans or Cowboys advanced in the playoffs – but that cheeseball still tastes good!
Cathy, I am a huge cheeseballs lover. And this flavor combination sounds perfect. I always look forward to Super Bowl, I don’t watch much football during the year but the Super Bowl game is always a good time. Especially if everyone stays quiet during the commercials. My favorite part!
I love cheeseballs too! This one is great for a Superbowl party.
This looks yummy! I’ve never made a cheese ball before, but it does look easy. I’m sure it is a big hit. I love that it can be made ahead then frozen. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
