1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/2 c. solid pack pumpkin
1 jar (2 1/2 oz.) dried beef slices, chopped
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 c. crushed pineapple, well drained
1 tbsp. chopped onion
1 short celery stalk & parsley for garnish

Combine cream cheese and pumpkin; mix until well blended. Stir in the beef, cheddar cheese, pineapple and onion; mix well. Chill at least 1 hour. Then form into large ball. Score sides to resemble pumpkin. Garnish with a piece of the celery for a stem, and the parsley for leaves. (Can use celery leaves instead of parsley.)

Serve on large tray encircled by several varieties of crackers. Yield 2 1/2 cups. This is really a good cheese ball. Everyone I've served it to likes it.
