- 5 Green onions, chopped, for more flavor (optional)
- 2 ounces, weight Buddig beef pastrami (or fresh deli pastrami) thinly sliced

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the slivered almonds. With your hands, roll everything into a big ball.
Take a plate and spread slivered almonds on it. Then roll the cheese ball over it to completely cover it.

This can be stored overnight in the refrigerator so the flavors can blend or serve immediately.
