This is for Holly who was looking for a cheese ball recipe for her
daughters wedding. Our recipe doesn't call for onion, but it's easy
enough to add.

Grandma Jane's Cheese Ball

2 (8 oz.) pkg. Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1-1/2 Tbsp. Hidden Vallen Ranch Dressing
2 pkg. dried beef or dried ham*
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Dill weed to taste

Mix cream cheese and ranch dressing with mixer. Chop dried beef or
dried ham (to keep it from being stringy) and add to cream
cheese/ranch dressing mixture. Mix well. Add cheddar cheese. Put
into bowl and shape into a ball. Sprinkle dill weed on outside of
ball. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill.

[*The dried beef/dried ham in a package in the lunch meat section of
the super market is less expensive than the ones in the jar found in
the canned meat aisle. And it works just as well!]
