Holiday Appetizer Easy Ham Onion Cheeseball Recipes

HAM AND CHEDDAR CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Set your cream cheese out for about an hour before you mix this cheese ball together. It is much easier to make this recipe if your cream cheese is soft.
• Place cream cheese, ham, cheddar cheese, garlic salt, onion powder, green onions in a mixing bowl. (I like to add mine to my kitchen aide and mix with the paddle, It makes this recipe so easy!)
• Beat together until ingredients are mixed.
• Using a spatula, shape into a round ball. (You can use your hands if you'd like but the rubber spatula works almost just as well and you don't have to get your hands dirty.)
• Toast the nuts in a pan on medium heat on the stovetop. Roll in toasted pecans until evenly covered.
• Cover with plastic wrap until needed. When you're ready to serve it, lay on a platter with your favorite buttery crackers and veggies. Enjoy!

HOLIDAY APPETIZER: EASY HAM & ONION CHEESEBALL

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Don't bother stirring it - I just dig my hands right in and squish it together.
• Form it into a ball.
• Refrigerate until time to serve - you can make it up a day ahead or even two. Then, serve with crackers.

HOLIDAY HAM & CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Place the cream cheese in a large, covered bowl and allow to soften at room temperature while preparing the other ingredients.
• Lay several pieces of ham on a cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips. Turn the cutting board and slice again, forming small squares. Set aside in a medium bowl or on a plate and separate the squares. Repeat with the rest of the ham.
• Slice the bunch of green onions into very thin rings.
• When the cheese is softened, add in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, green onions (add all or just enough for your preference), and 1/2 of the ham. Mix together well until ingredients are uniformly distributed.
• Using a large piece of plastic wrap, shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the remaining ham pieces (faster) or manually press the ham squares into the cheese ball (prettier). Place on a plate and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow to chill for a few hours or overnight before serving. Serve with crackers, vegetables or crusty bread.
