Dried Beef Cheese Ball

Today I am featuring a vintage recipe that I have been meaning to put on the blog for a while. I have been making this cheese ball since the 90’s, and it has always been a favorite of mine. It is a mix of five ingredients that you probably have on hand. The mix of a savory meat with the cream cheese is the perfect topping for any cracker. Let’s get started. Here are the ingredients you need plus Worcestershire sauce, which is not pictured.

Start by mixing together in a large bowl, 2 (8 oz. packages) of softened cream cheese, 1 bunch of chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon of Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 (5 oz.) package of chopped dried beef lunch meat. Note, you’ll need to set aside 3 ounces of the 5 ounces of beef to put on the outside of the cheese ball.

Shape the ingredients into a ball and roll it in the remaining dried beef, to form a layer on the outside of the cheese ball.

This recipe is best served with your favorite crackers.
