My favorite Cheese Ball ever. Recipe is credited to my MIL.
2 packages cream cheese, softened
1 8 oz can crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 Tbsp red onion, finely chopped
1/2 Tbsp accent seasoning
1 cup chopped pecans
Cayenne to taste
Combine all the ingredients except for the pecans and cayenne. Lay the pecans out on a sheet of wax or parchment paper and sprinkle with the cayenne. Place the cream cheese mixture on top of the pecans in a rough ball shape. Bring the wax paper up around the cream cheese, making sure that the pecans are uniformly around the ball. Shape into a ball and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Note - I grated the onion instead of chopping it and it turned out to be too strong of a flavor. If you are going to grate it, I recommend only using 1 or 1.5 Tbsp of it instead of the two.
