Recipe for Cheese Ball Using Dried Beef

Combine all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and mix well. Form into a ball and chill at least 1 hour before serving.

This one was made for a Super Bowl party so I formed it into a football shape and used a couple of strips of dried beef I held back to garnish for that football look.

What are some of your favorite cheese ball appetizers?

I’m sure that I love them all! A great tip is to always keep a block or two of cream cheese in your refrigerator. Cream cheese is such a handy ingredient and you can whip up so many tasty dishes with it.
