Irish Cheese Ball

I thought I would start March off by posting a recipe that is good all year round – but is especially nice to serve your guests on or around St. Patrick’s Day.

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp horseradish
1Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 cup canned corn beef
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp sour cream
1/2 cup chopped parsley

Mix cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise.  Mash corn beef with a fork and add to cream cheese.  Stir in onions, garlic and horseradish.  Wrap in plastic wrap and roll into a ball.  Chill.  Roll in parsley before serving.

My family enjoys this on mini Breton crackers; but it would be enjoyable on whatever crackers you prefer.

Tomorrow, I will post a recipe for Corn Beef Hash to use up the rest of that open can of meat.

  1. I’d like to make this, but I don’t want to use canned corned beef. Do you think I could buy regular corned beef, put it through the grinder, and have the recipe work out okay?

  2. I think it would turn out great. Go for it!
