Cheeseball from Heaven...for your next tailgate!

College football season has started which means it's time for tail gating! I recently had this dip at a birthday party and could have eaten the entire bowl...seriously, it's that good!  It is perfect for your next tailgate. My friend Lisa that made it and gave me the recipe simply called it "Cheese Ball"....but I didn't think that name did this dip justice.  It really is a cheese ball from heaven!

Cheese Ball from Heaven

1 8oz package of cream cheese
3/4 stick of butter
Garlic powder (to taste)
1 package of Buddig dried ham (chopped)
Green onion, chopped
2 cups of finely shredded cheddar cheese

Cream together the cream cheese, butter, and garlic powder.  Then add the ham, onion, and cheddar cheese. Chill the dip before serving.

Lisa added that she normally doubles the recipe (double everything but the cheddar cheese) and I can see why, you never want to run out of this Cheese Ball!  Also, if I remember correctly, Lisa served this with Wheat Thin crackers.  So delicious!  I'll be running to Walmart now to make up a batch of my own. Enjoy a batch at your next tail gate...I won't blame you if you don't share. :)
