Cheese is honestly my favorite food. So a giant ball of it seems right up my ally.
Ingredients You'll Need
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup minced green bell pepper
4 scallions, minced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, about 1 small lemon
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup chopped pecans, for rolling
Directions
1. Make the cheese ball: In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bell pepper, scallions, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mash the ingredients together using a big fork. Taste and adjust flavors to your liking.
2. Prepare the pecans: Onto a clean surface or cutting board, spread your pecans into an even layer.
3. Roll the cheese ball: Once your cheese ball is mashed together in a bowl. Roughly separate the mixture into two halves. Using a large spatula or your clean hands, scoop one half out and form into a ball.
Place the cheese ball onto the chopped pecans. Use your hands (or some plastic wrap) to gently roll the cheese ball around in the pecans, coating it completely.
Repeat with a second cheese ball.
4. Serve: You can serve the cheese ball immediately or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for up to a week. Serve with crackers or chips.
