Description

A creamy and savory Cheese Ball perfect for gatherings, made with cream cheese, dried beef, and green onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz slices of dried beef, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dried beef, sliced green onion, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated and creamy.
  3. If you’d like a richer flavor, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese at this stage.
  4. Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands, ensuring it’s compact and smooth.
  5. If you’re feeling fancy, roll the cheese ball in chopped pecans for added crunch.
  6. Refrigerate the Cheese Ball for at least an hour before serving.
