Description
A delicious cheese ball made with cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and dried beef.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces cream cheese (2 (8-ounce packages), softened to room temperature. I used full fat.)
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 5 ounces dried beef (2 (2 packages), finely diced)
- 4 green onions (tops finely diced)
- 1 ½ cups Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Add the softened cream cheese to a large bowl.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Use an electric mixture to fully mix well and smooth out.
- Add ¾ of the finely diced dried beef, ¾ of the finely diced green onion and ¾ of the shredded cheese. (You are reserving the remaining beef, onions and cheese to dress the outside of the cheese ball before serving.) Stir well until combined.
- Place a large sheet of plastic wrap on your counter surface.
- Spoon all the cheese dip onto the plastic wrap.
- Grab under plastic and all around the cheeseball and make sure to fully cover it with plastic. Use your hands to mold it into a smooth ball.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours.
- Before serving, add the remaining beef and cheese to a medium plate and mix to combine.
- Unwrap the cheeseball and place it on the plate.
- Press the beef and cheese into the surface of the entire cheese ball.
- Place your cheeseball in the center of your serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining green onions on top.
- Place crackers around the ball to serve!
Notes
- This cheese ball can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
