Beef and Green Onion Cheese Ball
photo by Texas Aggie Mom
- Ready In:
- 1hr 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
1 cheeseball
- Serves:
- 16
ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 1 (2 1/2 ounce) jar dried beef (located on the canned meat aisle in the grocery store)
- 5 -6 green onions (They usually come bundled with this approximate amount so I just use the whole bundle)
- 1 1⁄4 cups pecans, finely chopped
directions
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature.
- Use your food processor to finely mince the dried beef.
- Use your food processor to finely mince the green onions (white bulb and green stalks together).
- Add the beef, the onions and 1/4 cup of pecans to the cream cheese and mix well.
- Form into a ball.
- Roll in remaining chopped pecans.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour (but it's even better if you make it the night before and let the flavors blend).
- Note: I've also made this by making the cheese mixture and adding 1/2 cup pecans instead of 1/4, then used it to stuff celery sticks. That was a hit too!
