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!
