Yummmm! This is my husband'd favorite year after year. It'a always the first one gone. This is such good stuff for such an easy recipe to do. The directions don't say it but that you have to rinse the salt from the beef first and then chop the beef into tiny pieces. I reserved some of the chopped dried beef to roll the finished balls in. Great with veggie sticks, Wheat Thins Big crackers and Triscuit crackers. I made two smaller cheese balls. A keeper ... great meat and cheese ball recipe!

Great tasting cheese ball. Maybe the person who gave this a bad rating had used not so good cream cheese. I personally like to use the very thin sliced chipped beef or ham(both are good) cut into very small squares and soaked in worchestershire sauce. I also roll the ball in the same beef or ham. Everyone loves it!

This was an easy recipe to make and most people liked it. I don't know if I would make this to take to a party again.

I've made this for our past 5 holiday parties and still get asked for the recipe every year. I do make 2 modifications. I rinse half of the beef I use, otherwise it's too salty for my tastes. Also, I don't add the Worsteshire Sauce. A good variation is to replace the beef with bacon.

It was good except for the overpowering taste of the Worchestershire sauce. I think if you cut that back to a teaspoon instead of a tablespoon it might not feel like you are drinking it from the bottle. I liked that the recipe was simple and easy to do.

If you expect to eat this, you MUST rinse the salt from the meat. The recipe overall is excellent though (i don't use MSG either), even if you forget to rinse and rinse and rinse and rinse.....

I didn't have onion salt, so I used onion powder and added garlic powder. Instead of MSG I added a tiny bit of season salt. This recipe was a HUGE hit at the school Christmas party. Not only did people rave, but I made a double batch that was almost completely gone--at a pot luck, even! It's super easy and people loved it! I will DEFINITELY make this again!

This was excellent. Yes, you need to rinse the salt off of the dried beef first. On my container of dried beef, it states that this should be done when adding to a recipe. I will make this again!

Excellent! I didn't use the monosodium glutamate, but rather increased the salt and added a scant pinch of white sugar. It was a hit at the party!

Very tasty! I subtracted the MSG and used beef jerky. I subbed onion powder for onion salt. Figured the salt in the jerky would be plenty. Also molded the mixture into a ball and rolled in a 1/2 cup of pecans. Makes for a nice presentation and mild nutty flavor.

I add chopped pimentos to this cheeseball to give more of the "red" and "green" colors for Christmas. My daughter gets downright upset if there isn't one on the appetizer table at Christmas!
