Recipe for an easy addictive Party Cheese Spread filled with cream cheese, meat, green onions, and cheddar cheese and can easily be adapted into a cheese ball or any shape to match the holiday.

Offer some vegetables on the side and it becomes keto and low-carb friendly.

This is similar to Million Dollar Cream Cheese Dip but with less mayonnaise and chipped beef rather than bacon. Chipped beef is for more economical than bacon.

It can be rolled into nuts, parsley, or any topping you prefer. It can also be made thinned out with extra mayonnaise to make it more of a dip.

As with most of my recipes, you can add and subtract ingredients to fit your tastes and needs.

Sometimes I use boiled or baked deli ham in place of the Buddig beef. I bet bacon would also be a great substitute or addition, I just have not tried it.

No matter which way you choose to make this, spread, dip, or cheese ball, it will soften more the longer it sits out being served.

The consistency you have while making this cheese dip, will be the consistency you have when it has been at room temperature for an hour or so. Plan accordingly when adding mayonnaise while making.

Serve this with crackers, small baguette slices, or even veggie dippers. I like it best with buttery crackers and the new pita crackers.

This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for larger parties. The only limit is the size of your mixing bowl.
