With a spoon pull mixture toward middle of the bowl, and try to form a ball.  Then cover and place in refrigerator till chilled and firm.

After it has chilled, it will be easier to work with. Roll the cheese mixture into a ball, and roll in grated cheddar cheese.  I found the best way to get the cheese to stick it is freeze the grated cheese….it is then hard and sticks to the cheese ball really well.  Other wise it tends to get smashed and does not look as nice.
