Quick Chipped Beef Cheese Ball

I got this recipe from a friend who used to work at the deli of our local grocery. When they were bought out by a larger chain their cheese ball recipe changed. This is the only way I can get my favorite cheese ball now. The grocery called it "chipped beef" but it actually uses thinly sliced Buddig roast beef.
