Chopped Ham And Cheese Spread

• 8 ounces softened cream cheese
• 1/2 cup Miracle Whip (don't sub mayo)
• 1 cup finely diced ham
• 5 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped green peppers
• 1 tablespoon Frank's red hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
• salt (optional)

1. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, Miracle Whip, Red Hot sauce, and horseradish, until smooth.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients and taste before adding salt.
3. The ham usually adds enough salt.
4. Chill, covered, until serving.
5. (It's best if allowed to sit a couple of hours, but can be served immediately).
6. NOTE: You need the sweetness that the Miracle Whip adds; that's the reason for not using mayo.
7. Also, if you use a different hot sauce you will want to adjust the amount.
8. Frank's isn't very spicy, but it adds wonderful flavor.
9. Something like Tabasco will add much more heat, but not as much flavor.
