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!

December 22, 2010 at 4:28 amI 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!)

December 22, 2010 at 6:25 amI 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!
