Cheese Ball Dip

Submitted by Kathy Orell

"Someone gave me this recipe many years ago after I tried it, loved it and had to have the recipe. It's always my favorite choice for appetizer. I always get rave reviews and it is always devoured. It's so easy to make. This great cheese ball dip is excellent served with the crackers called "Sociables". I never use anything else with it. NOTE: I often get 6-8 ounces deli ham (instead of a package of wafer thin sandwich ham) and ask them to slice it wafer thin or shave it for a recipe."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 1 ball
• Serves: 8-10

ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Accent seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 green onion stems
• 1 (6 ounce) package ham, wafer thin

directions

1. Leave cream cheese out to soften to room temperature.
2. Meanwhile chop the green onions stems or sprigs into very thin slices (smaller than a dime in thickness).
3. And dice wafer thin ham into small pieces like onion.
4. Mix together cream cheese, accent, green onion and 1/2 the diced ham. Once thoroughly combined evenly, form mixture into a ball shape with your hands.
5. Then roll ball into remaining half of diced ham.
6. I usually make this ahead and refrigerate with wax paper or plastic wrap over it until serving time.
7. Center on serving dish and surround with "Sociable" crackers.
8. NOTE: For servings I guessed at 8-10 but everyone loves it and eats more than they should so I sometimes make a double recipe depending on what other appetizers I'm making for the holiday and how many are coming.
