Classic Cheeseball with a Southern Twist! You can make this as hot or as mild as you wish by adjusting the amount of jalapeno's you use, if any. I use green bell pepper's, but the red and orange bell peppers change the flavor just a little. I also serve it with Trisket, and Ritz crackers. We make this the night before we're going to eat it. The flavors are so much better after it is refrigerated overnight!
Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese
10 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2-1 whole finely chopped seeded jalapeno
3 chopped green onions (green parts included)
1/4 finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
1/4 cup finely chopped green olives
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
2 cups chopped pecans, enough to cover ball generously
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together, except for pecans, to make 2 softball size balls or one large ball.
2. Roll balls in pecans to cover completely.
3. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
