CHEESEBALL

It's another "go-to" recipe when I need something easy to bring to a party. This cheeseball is one every party guest will love! Whether you need an appetizer to make for New Year's Eve or for the Super Bowl, this cheeseball can do the trick.
Ingredients:
2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened (you can use light cream cheese)
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 Tbsp. finely chopped green onions
1/4 c. finely chopped bell pepper (any color; I like red)
2 tsp. seasoning salt
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained very well (you may want to press in a fine-mesh strainer)
1/2 c. pecan pieces, chopped (you can also use pecan "chips")

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except pecans. Mix well...you might even need to use your hands. When thoroughly mixed, shape into a ball and roll in crushed pecans. Chill thoroughly. Serve with crackers and/or vegetables.
