Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar cheese using a hand mixer or a spatula until well blended and smooth.
Step 2
Add the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
Step 3
Scoop the cheese mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Gather the edges of the plastic wrap and shape the mixture into a ball. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and for the cheese to firm up.
Step 4
Spread the chopped pecans evenly on a plate. Remove the cheese ball from the plastic wrap and gently roll it in the pecans until the entire surface is coated in a crunchy layer.
Step 5
Transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter. Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or breadsticks, or wrap it in plastic wrap again and refrigerate until ready to serve.
