Notes
Where do I find Buddig Ham?
This ham is the inexpensive ham lunch slices usually found hanging on a hook next to the shredded cheese.Making this Ahead
If you want to make the cheeseball ahead of time. You can cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before you need it.Storing leftovers
Cover any leftovers with plastic wrap and store the cheese ball in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. *Walnuts may soften a bit. Cheeseball Hack: I haven't tried this yet, but someone told me to spread the nuts onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Just set the ball into the middle of the nuts and pull the plastic wrap up and around the ball - coating it with nuts and shaping it at the same time nutrition facts are only an estimateNutrition
