Yield
serves 12
Ingredients
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
One 3 3/4-ounce can smoked oysters, drained
One 0.4-ounce package Hidden Valley Original Ranch Buttermilk Recipe salad dressing mix
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 heaping tablespoon Durkee Famous Sauce
Coating options
Cracked black pepper
Chopped green onions
Cracker crumbs
Bacon bits
Chopped pecans
Chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, oysters, salad dressing mix, lemon juice, and Durkee Famous Sauce with a fork. Refrigerate the mixture until workable, about 30 minutes. Place the cheese mixture on a sheet of waxed paper and shape into ball. Roll the ball in one or more of the suggested coatings (or create your own). I like to coat the cheese ball with cracked pepper (2 tablespoons) and then with chopped green onions (1/2–3/4 cup).
