Creamed Chipped Beef Cheese Ball
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Cream cheese (softened) | 2 (8 oz) packages |
| Chipped dried beef (finely chopped) | 1 (8 oz) package |
| Green onions (finely chopped) | 3 stalks |

| Garlic powder | 1/2 teaspoon |

Instructions:
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the chopped chipped beef and green onions until evenly combined.
Step 2: Add Seasoning
Mix in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Tip: Taste before adding salt—chipped beef is naturally salty, so you may not need any extra.
Step 3: Form the Ball
Scoop the mixture onto plastic wrap. Gather the edges and shape it into a tight, even ball.
Step 4: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to an hour) to help it firm up and hold its shape.

Unwrap, place on a serving plate, and garnish with extra green onions if desired. Serve with your favorite buttery crackers.
