Tres Beef Green Onion Cheese Ball Recipes

BEEF AND GREEN ONION CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• 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!

DRIED BEEF AND GREEN ONION CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and ranch seasoning till smooth.
• Next, stir in the beef and green onion. Gently stir till the mixture is evenly mixed.
• Cut a 12-inch piece of plastic wrap and then cut a second of the same size. Create a cross shape. Repeat this once more. This will allow you to easily wrap the cheese ball and get a round shape.
• Place the cheese mixture in the center of the plastic wrap. Wrap in the sides until the cheese is secure and round it gently with your hands. Place on a plate in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours before serving. Once opened the cheese ball will keep for about a week and a half if stored in an air tight container.
• To serve, unwrap and place on a plate. Serve with crackers and veggies.
