Creamed Chipped Beef Cheese Ball is one of those retro-style appetizers that never really goes out of fashion. It’s creamy, salty, slightly tangy, and packed with savory depth—basically everything you want in a party dip that people keep circling back to. It also has that nostalgic “holiday table” feel, but it works just as well for game days, potlucks, or casual get-togethers where you need something easy but impressive.
Below is a clear, step-by-step guide to making it from scratch.
🧀 What You’ll Need
Main Ingredients
- 2 (8 oz) blocks of cream cheese, softened
- 1 jar dried beef (about 4–6 oz), finely chopped
- 2–3 tablespoons sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1–2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1–2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (optional)
Coating (optional but recommended)
- Extra chopped dried beef
- Finely chopped parsley or chives
- Crushed nuts (pecans or walnuts for crunch)
🥣 Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the dried beef
Start by draining and rinsing the dried beef under cold water. This helps remove excess saltiness, since dried beef can be quite salty on its own. Pat it dry with paper towels, then chop it into small, fine pieces. Set a small portion aside for coating later.
Step 2: Soften and mix the base
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Make sure it is fully room temperature—this is key for a smooth texture. Use a hand mixer or spatula to beat it until fluffy and creamy.
Add:
- sour cream (if using)
- Worcestershire sauce
- onion powder
- garlic powder
Mix until everything is fully combined and smooth.
