How to Make Als Award Winning Garlic Cheese Ball
- In a large mixing bowl, place 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 8 ounces of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Finely chop 1/4 cup of green onions and add them to the mixing bowl.
- Finely chop 4 ounces of cooked, thinly sliced beef (such as roast beef or salami) and add to the bowl.
- (Optional) For faster chopping, use a food processor to finely chop the green onions and beef.
- Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic using a garlic press and add to the bowl.
- Allow the cheeses to soften completely. If not already softened, let them sit at room temperature for about an hour.

- Using clean hands, thoroughly mix all ingredients until well combined.
- Place the mixture onto a large piece of aluminum foil.
- Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands.

- With slightly wet hands, smooth the cheese ball into a desired shape, ensuring it is even and round.
- Place the cheese ball into a sealed airtight plastic container and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (or up to 24 hours) before serving.
- Remove from the refrigerator about 1 hour before serving to allow it to come to room temperature slightly.
- Serve with your favorite crackers or vegetables.
