Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream cheese
- 5 ounces Dried beef
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
While the cream cheese softens, finely chop the dried beef and green onions, setting aside a small portion of each for coating the outside of the cheese ball later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dried beef, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the cheese mixture into a ball using your hands. You can lightly grease your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
On a plate, spread out the reserved chopped dried beef and green onions. Roll the cheese ball in the mixture until it is evenly coated all around.
Wrap the cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese ball to firm up.
Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to make it easier to spread.
Serve the cheese ball with an assortment of crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
