The Perfect Cheeseball
Servings servings (1 large cheeseball)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened light cream cheese is fine
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded, 8 ounces
- 3 tablespoons green onions finely chopped
- ¼ cup bell peppers finely chopped, any color
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 1 small can pineapple, crushed drained very well (you can press it through a fine mesh strainer to help remove the excess liquid)
- ½ cup pecans, chopped or pecan pieces
- crackers and vegetables for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except pecans. Mix well (you may need to mix with your hands at some point.)
- When thoroughly mixed, shape into a ball and roll in crushed pecans. If you're making this a few days ahead of time, wait to roll the cheeseball in the pecans until right before serving.
- Chill thoroughly for at least 1 hour. Serve with crackers and/or vegetables.
Notes
- Nutritional information was calculated to be 1/12 of the cheeseball.
