I used to buy this cheeseball from a local grocery store.  It was so good, I decided to try to make it.  It has quickly become a family favorite.  There are rarely any leftovers when I bring it to a party.

Ingredients

• 1-8 oz cream cheese block – room temperature
• ¼ lb Black Forest Ham – diced small
• 3-4 green onions – white and green parts, washed and sliced small
• 1-2 TBSP mayonnaise – I use Duke’s but you can use whatever brand you prefer
• Worcestershire sauce – 3-4 dashes (I use Lea and Perrins brand)
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese – 8 oz divided.  (I like Sharp or Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, but use your favorite)

Special Kitchen Tools Needed

• Mixing bowl – 4 cup or so
• Kitchen mixer and beaters (or food processor)

1. Place softened cream cheese block in mixing bowl.  Beat with mixer until creamy.
2. Add in half of the cheese, mayonnaise, all of the diced ham, green onions and Worcestershire sauce.
3. Mix all ingredients until just combined.
4. Using clean hands, form cream cheese mixture into a ball.
5. Roll the cheeseball in remaining cheddar cheese.
6. Refrigerate in a covered container until ready to serve.

Serving Suggestion:  Place on a decorative plate or board with your favorite snack crackers and fresh veggies (crudités).  This would also make a beautiful addition to a charcuterie board.
