Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Pkg Cream Cheese ((8 oz each))
1 Cup Diced Deli Ham ((can also use leftover holiday ham))
1 Cup Cheddar Cheese ((shredded))
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/3 Cup Green Onions ((sliced thinly))
3/4 Cup Chopped Pecans ((toasted))

Steps:

  • Set your cream cheese out for about an hour before you mix this cheese ball together. It is much easier to make this recipe if your cream cheese is soft.
  • Place cream cheese, ham, cheddar cheese, garlic salt, onion powder, green onions in a mixing bowl. (I like to add mine to my kitchen aide and mix with the paddle, It makes this recipe so easy!)
  • Beat together until ingredients are mixed.
  • Using a spatula, shape into a round ball. (You can use your hands if you'd like but the rubber spatula works almost just as well and you don't have to get your hands dirty.)
  • Toast the nuts in a pan on medium heat on the stovetop. Roll in toasted pecans until evenly covered.
  • Cover with plastic wrap until needed. When you're ready to serve it, lay on a platter with your favorite buttery crackers and veggies. Enjoy!

SUPER AMAZING DEVILED HAM CHEESE BALL



Super Amazing Deviled Ham Cheese Ball image

Cheeseballs are okay, but this one is super amazing! I wish I could claim credit for this one, but once again it's from Craig's family recipe treasure trove. It stores well. Cooking time is chilling time. Caution: This is very addicting. I am not responsible for any pounds gained from eating this.

COUNTRY HAM CHEESE BALL

This is very similiar to one offered by one of the local grocery stores here. Except they charge you almost $10.00 for it. Our family always makes an assortment of "finger foods" for our get-togethers. This is a good choice for grazing at a party! Please note that the prep/cook time does not include refrigeration time.
