Description

This savory Ham Cheese Mold is a nostalgic crowd-pleaser that combines the richness of cream cheese with the savory depth of chunk ham. The addition of Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and onion salt creates a complex, tangy flavor profile that cuts through the creaminess. Chopped pecans and green peppers add wonderful texture and a fresh crunch, making every bite interesting. This chilled appetizer is incredibly easy to assemble, requiring no cooking, just mixing and chilling. It is perfect for holiday parties, potlucks, or as a sophisticated snack for game day. Serve with crackers or vegetables for a satisfying, shareable dish that feels both comforting and elegant.

Ingredients

Directions

  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and onion salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in the mashed chunk ham, chopped pecans, and chopped green pepper until evenly combined.
  4. Line a loaf pan or mold with plastic wrap, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the lined mold, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
  7. To serve, lift the mold out of the pan using the plastic wrap overhang and slice into portions.
