Recipe Steps

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, chipped beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes of gentle mixing.
Shape your mixture into a ball with clean hands. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Once chilled, unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the chopped nuts, pressing lightly to ensure they adhere.
Carefully place the cheese ball on a serving platter, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy with an assortment of crackers, veggies, or fruits.
