Creamed Chipped Beef Cheese Ball

There’s just something deliciously decadent about a ball of cheese surrounded by buttery crackers. It can make anytime look and feel like a fun celebration!

INGREDIENTS

2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 (8 oz.) package chipped dried beef, finely chopped, if necessary
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 stalks green onion, finely chopped, plus extra for garnish (optional)
Ritz crackers, for serving
salt

PREPARATION

Place softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Using a mixer or wooden spoon, mix in chipped beef and green onions.

Once incorporated, mix in garlic and onion powders. (Mix in salt if you’ve tasted it and think it needs more seasoning.)

Transfer mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap, then seal tightly and shape into a ball.

Refrigerate at least 20 minutes or until firm.

Unwrap and serve with crackers, garnish with more green onion, if desired. Enjoy!
