I have been making a recipe similar to this one. I had to look up the amount of accent, couldn't remember. I used this recipe, the recipe I had uses way too much green onions and so I adjust it to a few green onions. I make a very large batch, 9 cream cheese and give the cheese balls to friends and family. I never thought of using a food processor to shred the beef. In the past I always cut 12 plus packages by hand, and that takes the longest part of making the ball. What a breeze, I did, 8 softball size cheese balls in less than 15 min. I also didn't need as much of the beef as in the past. I have enough beef for a small batch for our New Year. Thanks for making a great cheese ball even better. Next year when I make the balls, I will definitely be using this recipe from now on. Thank You!
