Ingredients

• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 jar (2.5–4 oz) dried chipped beef, finely chopped
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)

Coating (optional)

• Extra chopped chipped beef
• Fresh parsley or chives

 Full Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

Finely chop the dried chipped beef into small pieces. Slice the green onions thinly so they blend evenly into the cheese mixture. Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened so it mixes smoothly.

Step 2: Mix the base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, chopped chipped beef, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and mayonnaise if using. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or hand mixer until everything is evenly combined and thick.

Step 3: Shape the cheese ball

Once the mixture is well blended, scoop it onto a piece of plastic wrap. Use your hands or the wrap to shape it into a firm ball. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until fully set. This helps the flavors blend and makes it easier to serve.

Step 4: Add the coating (optional)

Before serving, roll the cheese ball in extra chopped chipped beef, parsley, or chives for added flavor and a decorative finish.

Step 5: Serve

Place the cheese ball on a serving plate and surround it with crackers, toasted baguette slices, pretzels, or fresh vegetables like celery and carrots.
