salt To taste.Remember the dried beef is already super salty!
Instructions
Soften the cream cheese.
Add the cream cheese, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce to your stand mixer and mix until fluffy.
Chop the salty dried beef and green onions and shred your cheddar cheese (if you didn't buy pre-shredded to save time).
Add the dried beef, green onions and cheddar cheese to the stand mixer and mix.
Taste the cheese ball mixture and season with salt and pepper if it needs a little bit more seasoning.
On a piece of plastic wrap, scoop out the dried beef cheese ball mixture.
Gather the ends of the plastic wrap and twist to hold the cheese ball in place. I used my hands to form it into a ball-like shape.
Place the chipped beef cheese ball in the fridge for about 2 hours to chill before serving.
When you remove it from the fridge, you can form the easy appetizer a little bit more to get the shape you want.
Place this nostalgic party dish on a platter and serve with an assortment of crackers, bread and veggies.
Notes
This cheese ball recipe with dried beef is also tasty when coated in chopped pecans! If you'd like to serve it that way, simply chop up pecans (or buy pecan pieces). Fill a shallow dish with the nuts and take the chilled cheese ball and roll it in the pecans so they adhere.
