Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces Crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Bell pepper, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Pecans, finely chopped
- 0 Crackers or bread for serving
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and well-drained crushed pineapple. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 2
Add the chopped green onions, bell pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors.
Step 3
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up slightly, making it easier to handle.
Step 4
Once chilled, take the mixture and shape it into a ball using your hands. Alternatively, use plastic wrap to help shape it.
Step 5
Spread the chopped pecans on a clean surface or shallow dish. Roll the cheese ball in the pecans, pressing gently to coat evenly on all sides.
Step 6
Wrap the formed cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully firm.
Step 7
When ready to serve, remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier spreading.
Step 8
Serve with a variety of crackers or slices of bread. Enjoy!
