Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 oz cream cheese (, softened)
  • 4 oz pastrami (, thin sliced)
  • 3 green onions (, finely chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 cup pecans (diced small)

Instruction

  • Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and stir or beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. 
  • Add the diced pastrami, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and sea salt. Mix well with a spatula. (You don't want to use the mixer for this part, it might break down the meat and onions too much.)
  • Use the spatula to form the mixture into a ball in the bowl as best as you can. Lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap, place the chopped pecans in the middle and gently move the cheese ball onto the pecans.
  • Gently use the plastic wrap to press the pecans into the cheese ball and help form a more rounded ball shape. Wrap the cheese ball tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Serve with your favorite crackers, pita chips, or pretzel crisps.
