My sister Miriam made this one Christmas when I was in high school and I think I’ve made it every year since then. When I made it for Jason, he loved it and it’s one of the kid’s favorite holiday foods too.
Mix together:
2 8oz packages cream cheese
6 slices (Carl Budding) Beef lunch meat slices, chopped
The greens of 6 green onions, chopped
Chopped pickled jalapeno slices to taste (about 1/4 cup)
Dash season salt
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Make a ball and then roll in chopped pecans.
It’s the best served with Wheat Thins.
I’ve tried all kinds of crackers, Wheat Thins are a must!
Merry Christmas!

Oh yum! I love jalepenos.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I can’t wait to try it this weekend for Christmas with the fam. Yummy!
We don’t really eat the cheese balls in my area, but I am seeing a lot of recipes for them. I think I will have to try this, it sounds delicious!
Yum, this sounds like something that my hubby would love. Thanks for sharing!
My doctor just told me to stay away from fats, cheeses, milk…. basically anything that tasts good because I have high triglycerides (sp?). How do you tell someone that around the holidays!!! LOL! Maybe I can start next year?? This just look to good to pass up!
Decided to try this. Went out and bought all the ingredients. Can’t wait to try it!
I saw another bloggers post about Carl Buddig today and thought of you. I am pasting her blog below for coupons.

Looks like a neat recipe for the holidays!
I totally am a cheeseball snob. I only like mine. But wouldn’t you know, my husband was hanging over my shoulder while I was reading your blog and he says, “Hey that looks good. Why don’t you make one of those this year?” Ummmmmm. Thanks a lot!!! (I have to admit…it does look good though!)
I think I’m going to make this, except without the nuts. (I have all the ingredients except nuts and I don’t want to go to town!)
Thanks for the recipe!
That looks YUMMY! I’ve never made a cheese ball before, but I just may have to now!
whoa.. looks so delicious!!
This sounds very good, I love the addition of the jalapenos:@)
