I don't have much to add except recipe sites are the absolute ****ing worst

I'm used to the ads flashing everywhere, disrupting the loading of the page, but when did we start having to scroll through someone's entire life ****ing story to get to the 8 ingredients of a cheeseball recipe?

Allrecipes has a pretty good App I'll use. Tasty's isn't bad as well.

But yeah - gotta work through the apps or you'll get buried.

Seriously though, my wife makes a version of this smoky cheeseball that's pretty ****ing good.

1 cup smoked gouda
2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 ounce cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
2 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoon steak sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
crackers, for dipping

In a large bowl, use a spatula to gently mix and fold together the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, butter, milk, steak sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mixture should be mostly smooth; a few visible clumps are okay.

Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface, then scoop the cheese ball mixture in the center. Pull up the sides of the plastic wrap to cover the cheese mixture, confining it to the middle. Once completely wrapped in plastic, use your hands to smooth the cheese into a ball shape. If needed, use another piece of plastic wrap to secure it.

Place wrapped cheese ball in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 to 3 hours.

When ready to serve, spread out chopped pecans on a flat surface. Roll the cheese ball in pecans, using your fingers to press and stick the pecans to the cheese.

Serve smoky cheese ball immediately with crackers for dipping.

It was a cool autumn morning in Upper Michigan. Dad had just come in from splitting firewood and mom and I could see his tired eyes and chapped hands. Even falls in the UP(That's what we call it up here, lol!) could be particularly tough. The air hung heavy with the scent of oak and the sweat of a man who never took a day off. "Honey, I need a snack mighty quick if'n you don't mind" he said to my mother. She rummaged through the icebox for a moment and asked if cheese and crackers would do. My father was never one to turn down anything my mother would put in front of him....
