Last time I was up visiting my family, my niece, Julia, made this cheese ball and it was gone before dinner was served. This was a hit with both kids and the adults in our family. Not sure where she got the recipe from and she didn't have exact measurements, so some are estimated and should be used to suit your tastes. Next time I plan to add some shredded cheddar cheese and could see rolling the ball in pecans if taking to a party. Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese |
3 ounces dried beef, finely chopped |
3 scallions, finely chopped (green onions) |
2 tablespoons sour cream |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (add more to taste) |
ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. I used a mini-food processor to chop up the beef to make it easier and quicker but it doesn't work so well for the scallions, so I chop them up by hand.
2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Then taste the mixture and adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
3. Serve with crackers, pita chips, pretzels and/or vegetables.
