Step 1

In a medium to large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapeno, green onions, and seasonings.

Step 2

Using a fork, potato masher, or pastry blender, mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3

Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and push everything to the center of the bowl.

Step 4

Place a clean sheet of plastic wrap on the counter, then use the spatula to remove the cream cheese filling, and place into the center of the plastic wrap. Loosely wrap the cream cheese mixture, and form into a ball (just do the best you can, it doesn't have to be perfect). Wrap up tightly, then place in fridge for at least 2 hours.

Step 5

TIP: I place the wrapped cheese ball into a bowl, then put in the fridge. It prevents the bottom of the cheese ball from getting too flat.

Step 6

Using a baking sheet, add nuts, Italian Style Seasoned Bread Crumbs, bacon bits (or chopped bacon), pepper jack cheese, and jalapeños. Toss everything to combine.

Step 7

Once the cream cheese mixture has been refrigerated for at least 2 hours, remove from fridge and form into a better ball.

Step 8

Place the cheese ball at the end of the baking sheet and roll into the crumbs, pressing it down slightly to get the crumb mixture to stick into the ball. Repeat until the ball is completely coated.

Step 9

Serve immediately with crackers and other dippers!
