Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream cheese
- 5 ounces Dried chipped beef
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 package Crackers or fresh veggies (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften for easier mixing.
While the cream cheese is softening, chop the dried chipped beef into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the green onions, including the green and white parts.
Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped dried chipped beef, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and (optional) hot sauce to the cream cheese. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on the counter. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the center of the wrap and mold it into a ball shape using your hands. Wrap tightly in the plastic wrap to hold its shape.
Refrigerate the cheese ball for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, remove the cheese ball from the plastic wrap and, if desired, roll it in finely chopped fresh parsley for a decorative touch.
Place the cheese ball on a serving plate and surround it with crackers, fresh veggies, or your preferred accompaniments.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
