Dried Beef Cheeseball

Ingredients:

2 packages (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened

2 packages of thinly sliced beef or pastrami

2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce

2 teaspoons Accent Salt

3­4 green onions, chopped finely

Place cream cheese in a large bowl and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until slightly creamy. Cut meat and green onion into small pieces.  Add to cream cheese.   Add salt and Worcestershire Sauce.  Mix well.  Place plastic wrap on counter.   Add cheese ball mixture and form one large ball or divide in half for two smaller cheese balls.  You can also roll in chopped nuts if you want.  Serve with crackers of your choice.

This was easy to make and tastes great.  I didn’t roll it into a ball but am storing it in Tupperware in the fridge.  Would be a great additional to any potluck or gathering. 

Bagel Dip

Review by Lyndee:

My cousin Brooke makes an ah-ma-zing bagel dip that needs to be shared with the world.

1 1/3 c. mayonnaise

1 1/3 c. sour cream

4 oz. of thinly sliced dried beef (I use Hormel)

2 tsp. dried dill weed

2 tbs. dried parsley

1 tsp. dried minced onion

1-2 bags of bagels (I use Sara Lee – they are the softest)

Cut up dried beef into small pieces.  Mix all ingredients together.  It is VERY important that you let it sit for several hours in order for flavors to merry, or it won't taste right.  Tear bagels into small pieces and serve with dip.

This dip is cheap, easy to make and sure to please a crowd.  If you're looking to healthify use fat free mayo and light sour cream.
