Ingredients
- 1 1/2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 (2.5 ounce) package thinly sliced smoked beef, chopped
- 1 small Vidalia or other sweet onion, minced (optional)
- 3 tbs of a garlic salad dressing or Italian depending on taste ( I use Caesar)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- Mix the cream cheese, beef, onion, and salad dressing together in a bowl until evenly blended. Keeping the mixture in the bowl, scrape it into a semi-ball shape. Cover, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Place a large sheet of waxed paper on a flat surface. Sprinkle with walnuts. Roll the cheese ball in the walnuts until completely covered. Transfer the cheese ball to a serving plate, or rewrap with waxed paper and refrigerate until needed.
