Method
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, bacon, red bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture is well combined.
- Shape the cheese mixture into a ball using clean hands or a spatula.
- Spread the chopped pecans on a plate or sheet of parchment paper, then roll the cheese ball in the pecans until fully coated.
- Wrap the cheese ball tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Serve chilled with crackers, pretzels, or sliced vegetables.
Notes
For best texture, chill the cheese ball long enough to firm up before serving. You can also make it a day ahead and keep it wrapped in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
