Notes

- I have used both the chipped beef that comes in a jar on the shelf at the grocery store and the Buddig beef packets that are found in the refrigerated section. The canned version tends to be a little saltier but both are delicious.
- This beef and onion cheeseball tastes best if made at least 24 hours in advance. This allows the flavors to marinate.
- Let the cheeseball sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving so that it becomes spreadable.
