Holiday Ham & Cheese Ball
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 lb lean ham, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch green onion
- 1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Place the cream cheese in a large, covered bowl and allow to soften at room temperature while preparing the other ingredients.
- Lay several pieces of ham on a cutting board and slice into 1/2" strips. Turn the cutting board and slice again, forming small squares. Set aside in a medium bowl or on a plate and separate the squares. Repeat with the rest of the ham.
- Slice the bunch of green onions into very thin rings.
- When the cheese is softened, add in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, green onions (add all or just enough for your preference), and 1/2 of the ham. Mix together well until ingredients are uniformly distributed.
- Using a large piece of plastic wrap, shape the cream cheese mixture into a ball. Roll the ball in the remaining ham pieces (faster) or manually press the ham squares into the cheese ball (prettier). Place on a plate and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow to chill for a few hours or overnight before serving. Serve with crackers, vegetables or crusty bread.
