A cheap, fast recipe for a cheese ball is to simply mix a softened block of cream cheese with the cheese flavoring packet from a box of macaroni and cheese. Be sure to blend it well, then shape into a ball. I usually let it chill overnight, and then roll it in chopped pecans before serving. You can also use the tubs of cream cheese to make a spread instead of a ball. It's very good!
