Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 8 oz Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 4 tbsp Green onions (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Bell pepper (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 package Crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and allow it to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Add the drained crushed pineapple, chopped green onions, finely chopped bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt to the bowl.
Using a spatula or hand mixer, thoroughly combine all the ingredients until smooth and well blended.
Shape the mixture into a ball using your hands or one large spoon. If the mixture is too soft to shape, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Spread the chopped pecans evenly on a clean surface or plate. Roll the cheese ball in the pecans, pressing gently to ensure the nuts stick to the surface.
Once completely coated in pecans, wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with crackers or your choice of dippers and enjoy!
