Cream together in a mixer 16 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature, and 8 oz. sharp cheddar, finely shredded, also at room temp. When well amalgamated, add 1 Tablespoon finely chopped onion, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon lemon juice (I used the juice of an entire half lemon), and a few dashes cayenne pepper. Once it was all mixed up I globbed it onto a piece of waxed paper, wrapped it up, and put it into a roundish bowl in the fridge overnight. After it stiffened up, I formed it into a more ball-like shape and rolled it in chopped toasted pecans.
We always eat it with Wheat Thins. My mother makes tons of this every Christmas.

This receipe can be cut in half very easily. Always a favorite with neighbors at Christmas.
