I have been serving this quick and easy cheese ball to family and friends for many years. It’s salty from the dried beef, and spicy from the horseradish. It makes a great accompaniment to cocktails and never fails to please.
3 ounces of dried beef (Find this in a jar in the canned meat section of your grocery store)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup pimento-stuffed olives, chopped
2 Tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 cup walnuts, chopped fine
Cup the dried beef into tiny slivers. Mix all ingredients except the walnuts, using an electric mixer. Form into a ball and roll in the chopped nuts. Chill for at least an hour and serve with a variety of crackers.
