What You Need:
Cream Cheese: two blocks of full fat cream cheese at room temperature.
Chipped (Dried) Beef: a pressed, salty, dried beef sliced in pieces that can be found in a jar in the canned meat aisle of your grocery store or the brand name of Carl Buddig beef can be found in the refrigerated section and will need to be sliced into pieces.
Butter - a couple tablespoons butter makes the cheese ball creamy!
Onion or Green Onion: chopped into thin pieces; a little bit (or more) of the green onion can be pressed to the outside of the cheese ball if you are an onion lover!
Green Bell Pepper: will take this cheese ball to the next level. Chop into small pieces.
Horseradish: the ingredient that makes this cheese ball so delicious! Don't skip it!
Tips for Making Chipped Beef Cheese Ball with Horseradish
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure a creamy texture for your cheese ball
Carl Buddig Beef (will need to be sliced) or dried beef in a jar will work for this recipe
Place ingredients on a plastic wrap and pull the corners together and twist to make a ball!
Once you have it in the shape of a ball and it has been refrigerated and is firm, gentle roll into your sliced chipped (dried) beef and cover the outside as completely as possible.
Roll the ball in chopped green onion, if desired.
