Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans (toasted & chopped)
  • 2 8 oz softened cream cheese

  • 1 2.25 oz jar dried beef (i.e. Armour)
  • 4 chopped green onions
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Toast the pecan pieces for 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, cream together, the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and salt until light and fluffy.
  • Chop the dried beef and finely chop the green onions. Add to the cheese mixture then whip it in just until blended, to avoid pureeing the onion.
  • Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese by hand using a large spoon or spatula.
  • Shape into a ball. Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
  • Roll the chilled cheese ball in the toasted chopped pecans and serve with assorted crackers, veggies or pita chips.
