Here’s a classic party-style Chipped Beef Cheese Ball—creamy, salty, savory, and great with crackers or veggies.
🧀 Chipped Beef Cheese Ball
Ingredients
- 2 packs (8 oz each) Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup chopped Beef (dried chipped beef or deli-style beef, finely chopped)
- 1–2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 cup green onions or chives (chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but recommended)
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Mix base
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add flavor
- Mix in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
3. Add beef & extras
- Stir in chopped chipped beef, green onions, and cheddar cheese (if using).
4. Shape
- Form mixture into a ball (or log shape for easier serving).
- Wrap in plastic wrap.
5. Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (overnight is even better).
🍽️ Serve with
- Crackers
- Toasted bread slices
- Celery sticks or cucumber slices
💡 Tips
- The flavor gets stronger after chilling overnight.
- If it feels too soft, add a little extra cream cheese or refrigerate longer before shaping.
- You can roll the outside in extra chopped beef or herbs for a nicer presentation.
If you want, I can also give you a spicy version, a bacon cheese ball variation, or a holiday party platter idea to go with it.
