Beef And Green Onion Cheese Ball - cooking recipe

Ingredients

16 ounces cream cheese
1 (2 1/2 ounce) jar dried beef (located on the canned meat aisle in the grocery store)
5 -6 green onions (They usually come bundled with this approximate amount so I just use the whole bundle)
1 1/4 cups pecans, finely chopped

Preparation

Soften the cream cheese to room temperature.
Use your food processor to finely mince the dried beef.
Use your food processor to finely mince the green onions (white bulb and green stalks together).
Add the beef, the onions and 1/4 cup of pecans to the cream cheese and mix well.
Form into a ball.
Roll in remaining chopped pecans.
Refrigerate for at least one hour (but it's even better if you make it the night before and let the flavors blend).
Note: I've also made this by making the cheese mixture and adding 1/2 cup pecans instead of 1/4, then used it to stuff celery sticks. That was a hit too!
