Dried Beef Cheese Ball

categories: Appetizers, Recipes

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.

Pineapple and Green Pepper Cheese Ball

categories: Appetizers, Recipes

cheese-ball-2We had crazy blizzard conditions in Iowa today giving me a snow day to figure out what to make for the Big Game on Sunday.  I decided to go with one of my favorite party foods, a Pineapple and Green Pepper Cheese Ball, which is the perfect snack for any get together.  When I crafted this cheese ball, it took me back to the 80’s when my mom would make this as part of the goodies she would serve for her card club.  My sister and I would happily clean up the leftovers after the party.  So if you want to add some 80’s flair to your party, make this flavorful cheese ball filled with heavenly pineapple, crisp green peppers, juicy onions, and smothered with chopped pecans.  It will make your guests cheer.

4 crackers Start by finely chopping the green pepper.
