Ingredients

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.
  • Grap 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!
