Ingredients

• 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Roasted red peppers, chopped and drained
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup Crushed pecans
• 1 package Crackers or bread for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley.

Step 2

Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, mix the ingredients until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3

Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface and transfer the cheese mixture onto the center of the plastic wrap.

Step 4

Wrap the cheese mixture tightly in the plastic wrap and shape it into a ball. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 5

Once the cheese ball has set, spread the crushed pecans on a large plate or flat surface.

Step 6

Unwrap the cheese ball and gently roll it in the crushed pecans, pressing lightly to coat the entire surface evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley over the pecan-coated cheese ball for added color and flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the cheese ball to a serving platter and serve with crackers or slices of bread.
