Delta Cheese Ball.

This concoction is a famous export of the Mississippi Delta. There are subtle variations, but this is a fairly standard version.

Delta Cheese Ball

3 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1 jar dried beef, finely chopped
1 small can mushrooms, finely chopped
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped (4-5 onions)
1/2 cup chopped black olives, drained
3 tsp Accent seasoning (MSG)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Mix together well. Chill. Roll into a ball. Cover with chopped pecans. Seal tightly in plastic wrap and let refrigerate for 2-3 days for the flavors to blend.

Optional additions:
*1/2 tsp. onion salt
*2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
*Delete the Accent if you don't want the MSG and sub in a couple teaspoons Tony Chachere's seasoning for a spicier kick
