This creamy, savory snack is perfect for game days, parties, or as a quick appetizer. The combination of tender dried beef, tangy cream cheese, and subtle onion flavor will delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
• 3 ounces of dried beef
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon of onion salt
• 1 1/4 teaspoons of monosodium glutamate
• 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, dried beef, green onions, onion salt, monosodium glutamate, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Mix all the ingredients together until they are fully incorporated.
3. Form the mixture into a ball shape.
4. Refrigerate the cheese ball before serving.

Suggested Variations or Adjustments:

• To add some extra flavor, you can roll the cheese ball in chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives before refrigerating it.
• If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, you can increase the amount of green onions to 1/2 cup or more, depending on your taste.
• You can also adjust the amount of monosodium glutamate to suit your taste preferences. Some people may find it too salty, while others may like it even more savory!
