LAURA LEE'S DRIED BEEF CHEESE BALL
I had a similar cheeseball at a party a few years back. I changed it a little and have enjoyed it many times since. Everyone that tastes it has to have the recipe. It has gotten to the point I keep the recipe on my computer so I can put copies by it when I serve it.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients except the nuts.
- Roll in a ball and refrigerate over night.
- Roll cheeseball in the chopped nuts.
- Serve with snack crackers.
- I prefer Wheat Thins.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to make quick work of chopping the beef and cream cheese.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the beef and cream cheese by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Be sure to use cold cream cheese and butter, as this will help the balls hold their shape.
- If you don't have any chopped dried beef, you can use 1/2 cup of finely chopped cooked beef.
- You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped onion or green pepper to the mixture.
- If you want to make the balls ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When you're ready to cook the balls, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake the balls for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese and chopped dried beef balls are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The balls are also very versatile and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces.
