Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature until softened.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dried beef, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder.

Fold in the chopped green onions until evenly distributed.

Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands.

Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

If using nuts, chop them finely while waiting for the cheese ball to chill.

Once chilled, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and roll it in the chopped nuts, if using.

Transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter and serve with crackers or veggies.
