Cheese Ball

1 can of flaked ham
1 brick Philly cream cheese
1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
2 stalks of chopped green onions

Break up the flaked ham, add cheese and onions, nuke cream cheese for 40 sec. and add.

Make into a ball, and serve with crackers (I prefer Triscuits)

For more zing add tablespoon of lemon juice or teaspoon of horseradish.

What is flaked ham? Like shaved ham from a deli? I want to make this tomorrow. I love snack food like that. I love dried beef with cream cheese

No...not shaved ham!

The ham that comes in the cans (same size as tuna) they will be on the same shelf as the canned tuna and salmon...it breaks up easily.

Ask grocer if they have Maple Leaf Flaked Ham (not sure if you can get that brand there), if not just ask for a can of flaked ham.

You will love this, excellent for entertaining too.

It might work out good, but this recipe calls for Flaked Ham, and it adds to the texture of the final dish.

Everyone I know loves my Cheese Balls (ok, that sounds weird!)


Come to think of it, I think next time I will try it with shaved ham for a change (you may be onto something).

***You will need enough shaved ham to tightly fill a tuna can.***

I say try it both ways. See what you like best.
