Classic Cheese Ball

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.

Prepare the pecans: Onto a clean surface or cutting board, spread your pecans into an even layer.

Roll the cheese ball: Roughly separate the cheese ball 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 second cheese ball.

Serve or refrigerate: 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. Did you love the recipe? Leave us a comment and a review and tell us all about it!
