I found this wonderful recipe on another site and then modified it a little. There were two recipes there and I chose this one to make because I prefer chopped nuts on a cheese ball. It is so pretty and great for the Super Bowl.

Ingredients:

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (softened)

1 (8 ounce) package sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise or 1/2 cup miracle whip

1 tablespoon onion (finely chopped)

1 tablespoon green pepper (finely chopped)

1 cup chopped pecans or 1 cup chopped walnuts

3 thin strips sweet red peppers (for the lacing)

assorted cracker

Directions:

1. With an electric mixer beat the first four ingredients till blended.
2. Add onions and green pepper; mix well.
3. Refrigerate several hours.
4. Form into a football and coat with chopped nuts.
5. Add sweet red pepper strips for the lacing.
6. Serve with crackers.
