Nancy's Cheese Ball

I love a good cheese ball...and this one is one of my all time favorites!

2, 8oz packages cream cheese
3 stalks green onions
1Tbs Bon Apetit (or if you can't find Bon Apetit like me you can use equal parts celery salt and onion powder, so 1/2 Tbs of each)
1 Tbs Miracle Whip
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp Worchestershire sauce
1/2 tsp mustard (you can use whatever kind you like best.  My favorite is spicy brown)

Mix together well with an electric mixer.  Make into one large ball or two smaller ones.  I line a small glass bowl with saran wrap and pack the cheese mix into it.  After it chills it's easy to lift the saran wrap out and turn the "ball" over onto a serving tray.  Can also roll balls in choppped pecans.  Refrigerate overnight for the flavors to blend (or if pressed for time, just put it in the freezer for an hour or two so it sets).  Serve with any kind of crackers (especially good with wheat thins and ritz).

To make into an eyeball for Halloween, mix 1/4 cup ketchup with 2 tsp chili powder.  Put mixture into a small ziplock bag and clip a tiny piece of one corner off.  Squeeze mix in a vein design. Cut a spinach leaf into a circle for the middle of the eyeball and use half of a large olive as the pupil.
