Yes, I know that yumminess isn't a real word (though my spell check knows it -- that's just weird), but this cheese ball is amazingly delicious. I got the recipe from a dear friend. She made if for a church social where it was the first thing completely devoured. The pictures show the recipe doubled, which makes quite possibly the biggest cheese ball ever made, so unless you are feeding your congregation, I would recommend doing the amounts listed for a single batch.
Ingredients:
8 oz. pkg cream cheese - softened to room temp
1/4 C mayo
2 C finely cubed ham
1-2 tsp parsley
1 tsp minced onion
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1 C chopped nuts-divided
Combine first 6 ingredients plus 1/2 of the chopped nuts.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hrs. to set up. Remove from fridge, shape into a ball and roll in remaining 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
Serve with your favorite crackers.
