Southern Made Cheese Ball

Aaron had a meeting tonight and threw this together to share. He only used 1/3 of the ingredients, but used less garlic powder and a little more cream cheese. We don't have onion powder so we subbed minced dried onion. We didn't have any diced ham. Oh, and we NEVER use Miracle Whip - it's gotta be real mayo! After he rolled it, he sprinkled some parsley on top (we didn't have enough green onions or enough time for chopped nuts) and sliced up some red pepper to garnish it.

Southern Made Cheese Ball
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon Creole-style seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham
  • 1 tablespoon creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
In a large bowl, mix by hand cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, green onions, chili powder, Creole-style seasoning, Cheddar cheese, ham and creamy salad dressing. Form the mixture into one or more balls. Chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving.
