Refrigerate until ready to use! Serve with crackers. ENJOY.
Notes
Soften your cream cheese for cheese balls for about half an hour on the counter prior to assembling.
So many great substitutions can be made! Swap out the italian dressing for ranch dressing. And use cooked and crumbled bacon instead of the dried beef. This creates a delicious Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball. Or use deli ham instead of the beef.
Want some spice? Add in some finely diced jalapeno peppers for a spicy kick. They pair quite nicely with the creaminess of the cheese ball.
Add more cheese. Add some shredded cheddar cheese to your cheese ball if you want more cheesy flavor!
Double the recipe. Got a large crowd to feed? This recipe easily doubles!
Serving Suggestions: serve with crackers, toasted slices of a baguette, bagel chips, fresh vegetables, and pretzels.
