For a smoother texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to your preferred level of spiciness. Remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it out! If you can't find dried beef, you can substitute with cooked and crumbled bacon or prosciutto. Serve with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or pretzels for dipping. For a more visually appealing cheese ball, consider rolling it in finely chopped pecans or parsley before refrigerating.
