Ingredients

• 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tbsp Dried parsley
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 sheet Plastic wrap

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend all the ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 3

Add the finely chopped green onions and mix them into the cheese mixture evenly.

Step 4

Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap onto a clean surface. Scoop the cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap.

Step 5

Use the edges of the plastic wrap to shape the cheese mixture into a ball, ensuring it is tightly packed.

Step 6

Once shaped, unwrap the cheese ball and press the chopped pecans onto the entire surface, ensuring the ball is fully coated.

Step 7

Wrap the pecan-coated cheese ball in a fresh sheet of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 8

Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Serve with crackers, veggies, or bread slices.
