No one will guess this cheese spread features a whole can of sauerkraut! Shredded cheese and chopped dried beef provide a little texture. —Rita Kerr, San Antonio, Texas

Reviews
I was looking for something different so I gave this recipe a try. Given sauerkraut as an ingredient, I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but was pleasantly surprised! It was a definite hit! It is delicious! I will say that it makes more than your average size cheese ball and had enough for two. This is a great recipe for any party!
This is so amazingly good. I have made it several times and it has become a favorite at holiday family gatherings. I have taken it to church potlucks and end up giving this recipe out several times every time I do that I now will take a few copies with me. Imagine the surprised looks I get when they see there is sauerkraut as one of the ingredients.
I have made this cheese ball several times, and have shared this recipe with several people. They cannot believe there is saurkraut in it. On a side note, do not use dried parsely. It doesn't turn out good.
