Quick Cheese Ball for Surprise Guests

Seems like company comes around pretty often this time of year.  It’s always nice to have ingredients for cheese ball recipes or other easy appetizers around for whipping up something in a pinch.  Here’s an easy cheese ball recipe that I’ve made several times.  The ingredients keep for awhile, so you can buy them ahead, and make it when you need it.

Chipped Beef Cheese Ball

• 2 blocks of cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 pkg. dried beef, finely chopped.
• 1 bunch of green onions, finely chopped
• Dash of garlic salt

Set aside 1/3 of beef and onions.  Combine cream cheese, remainder of beef, Worcestershire, remainder of onions, and garlic salt in food processor.  Pulse until blended.  Form into a ball, and roll in reserved beef and onions.  Serve on a platter with crackers and cheese knives.  If you don’t have a food processor, you can mix this by hand in a large mixing bowl.
