Any dill pickle lover is going to fall head over heels for this Dill Pickle Cheeseball! You must be warned though…it’s addicting…oh so addicting!
This past week has been beyond crazy! I ended up in the dentist office twice I think.
My nine year old was playing on king of the hill on the ice hill at the school. Apparently he was pushed off the hill and ended up breaking his front tooth in half. His permanent front tooth that he’s going to need for the rest of his life!
Maybe I was most sad about it because he has the absolutely most adorable buck teeth in the world! After it happened he even told me he just wanted his buck teeth back!
You know how doctors’ offices are, I must admit ours is awesome, and there is plenty of time of time to read magazines. That’s when I found a recipe for Dill Pickle Cheeseball! I knew I needed it in my life!
Dill Pickle Cheeseball only takes a few ingredients
Cream cheese, softened
Dill pickle relish
Worcestershire Sauce
Onion powder
Grated Cheese
I’m not sure which took me longer; the amount of time it took to make the cheeseball or the amount of time it took my family to devour it!
Mix room all ingredients except grated cheese.
Stir in grated cheese.
Form into a ball.
Sprinkle with dill weed.
Refrigerate for an hour or so.
Dill Pickle Cheeseball is fun for parties. You can get creative and served it with lots of different dippers.
Pretzels
Assorted Crackers
Bagel Chips
Or, you can always go the healthy route and use carrot sticks!
Appetizers are so fun! Sometimes I go to restaurants completely planning to order appetizers and desserts! I can’t resist ‘em! Dill Pickle Cheeseball is one of those appetizers that people fall head over heels in love with at first bite!
- 8 oz. Cream cheese, softened
- 1 c. Dill pickle relish, drained
- 1 T. Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ tsp. Onion powder
- 1½ c. Grated Cheese (I used colby jack)
- dill weed
- Mix room all ingredients except grated cheese.
- Stir in grated cheese
- Form into a ball.
- Sprinkle with dill weed.
- Refrigerate for an hour or so.

February 20, 2017 at 6:35 pmWe love appetizers around here, so I am always looking for new dips. We are bug pickle fans, so this is a winner!

February 21, 2017 at 3:07 pmThat is rough about the tooth. 🙁 We had a baby tooth incident that turned gray, but nothing with permanent teeth, thank goodness. I hope everything is all fixed up now.
This dill pickle cheeseball sounds delicious! I absolutely LOVE pickles.

February 22, 2017 at 9:57 amI’m pretty sure my husband would eat that whole cheeseball in one sitting!
Amy Engberson says
February 22, 2017 at 9:50 pmHaha! He’s a man after my own heart!
Alison says
May 4, 2017 at 4:52 pmHi! Looks yummy and so simple! Can I just use chopped up sliced dill pickles or is that too strong? Should it be relish?
Amy Engberson says
May 10, 2017 at 9:40 amIt’s a little more work to chop all those pickles but it should work just fine. Let me know how it goes!
Billy says
June 19, 2017 at 2:59 pmYour poor kid! I totally thought of the ‘All I want for christmas is my two front teeth’ song when you mentioned the story! Hopefully it all went well! Thank you for sharing this recipe, it looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it at home.
Amy Engberson says
June 23, 2017 at 6:29 pmHe was a little sad for awhile but he’s crazy as ever now! I have to admit I was totally in love with his buck teeth though! I can’t wait for you to try this cheeseball either! It’s so yummy!

November 28, 2017 at 8:16 pmI got a good chuckle out of this. My daughter had me make a dill pickle cheese ball when she was 5 or 6 and she is now 20. It is a little wild but so yummy. Great Minds!!!
Amy Engberson says
December 1, 2017 at 9:40 pmThat’s so fun! I bet she still loves pickels as much now as she did then! Have a fantastic day!
Barb says
December 1, 2017 at 3:12 pmWhat is the measurement on the grated cheese? You say 1 1/2 but is it cups? Just wondering. Looks delicious.
Amy Engberson says
December 1, 2017 at 9:46 pmThanks for pointing that out! Yes, it’s 1 1/2 cups grated cheese! Looking at this recipe makes me want to make it again!
Anna says
December 3, 2017 at 2:05 pmCould’ve been better. Following this recipe, it was too runny. Probably could’ve used another 8pz of cream cheese.
Amy Engberson says
December 4, 2017 at 8:28 amI’m sorry to hear that. Mine has never turned out runny. Did you let it sit in the fridge to set?
Jen says
December 22, 2017 at 11:54 amWhat is a T? It should be more clear this could change the recipe exponentially. And I had to sift through all of the comments that weren’t even from people that ACTUALLY Made the recipe. That’s really annoying.
Amy Engberson says
December 22, 2017 at 4:12 pmHi Jen! Sorry for your frustration! T is a standard abbreviation for Tablespoon! Merry Christmas!
Tiffany says
December 24, 2017 at 3:48 pmHi Amy! I made this and it turned out perfectly! It is so good. It’s so refreshing to see you being so nice to people on here. It’s just my opinion that if you are going to be cooking anything, you should know that when you read a standard recipe, T is for tablespoon. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!!!
Amy Engberson says
December 27, 2017 at 3:36 pmCan’t go wrong with Dill Pickle anything right? I try and remember to be nice because that’s how I would like to be treated. Sometimes I wish other people would stop and think of a kind way to phrase their comment/question instead of spatting off. I think they would be happier in the end. It’s the kind comments and well wishes that make blogging so rewarding! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a kind words! Merry Christmas to you too!

December 24, 2017 at 2:08 pmI used real Claussen brand pickles that I diced up instead of disgusting relish and it turned out amazing.
Amy Engberson says
December 27, 2017 at 3:37 pmReal pickles would taste fantastic! Glad it turned out so well for you! For those of us on a super tight schedule pickle relish is a great time saver! Either way this cheeseball is sure to make dill pickle lovers happy!
Melanie says
June 24, 2018 at 9:00 amI don’t think I’ve ever seen dill pickle relish before, only the sweet stuff.
Amy Engberson says
June 24, 2018 at 4:13 pmIt’s usually by the pickles. I buy it for my hotdogs. It saves time over having to chop pickles, but you could if you needed to.
Barb says
June 30, 2018 at 4:49 pmI love this cheeseball! So tasty and easy to put together. I have used this to spread on thin sliced ham and rolled up for an appetizer. Heavenly!
Kim says
January 8, 2019 at 7:37 pmHave made this several times and people LOVED it !!!
Amy Engberson says
January 14, 2019 at 6:26 pmYay! I’m glad you love it, and so do your friends! It’s such a fun change of pace when it comes to appetizers! Dill pickle lovers unite!
PENNY says
March 20, 2019 at 11:38 amMy Friend at work made this recently for our monthly
Birthday Luncheon and it was AMAZING and I don’t even
like Cheese Ball’s due to the fact I don’t like cold cheese.
Will definitely try this for my Family! Thank You!!
Amy Engberson says
March 22, 2019 at 9:45 pmHow fun! Having a monthly birthday luncheon would be a blast! A Dill Pickle Cheeseballs would be such a fun recipe to share! I’m so happy you enjoyed it and can’t wait for you to make it for your family!
