This cheese ball will keep for several days in the refrigerator. It's delicious! I've found it's especially popular at a party or get-together.

Pineapple Pecan Cheese Ball

each) cream cheese, softened

(8 ounces) crushed pineapple, well drained

green pepper

green onions

lemon-pepper seasoning

salt

pecans, divided

Assorted crackers

I have been making this for at least 30 years and it's always a hit. This recipe is similar to the one I was given all those years ago. However, in my laziness, I've always left out the onion and bell pepper. My recipe calls for seasoned salt but I leave it out. In the end, I simply mix together the cream cheese, pineapple, and the chopped pecans, then serve it as a spreadable dip instead of as a cheese ball. People love it!

My great grandmother made this but not with salt. Yuck. Use garlic powder and more pineapple. Refrigerate over night or make two days in advance. The salt ruins it. My mom tried to make it with salt and no one eats it. Made with garlic it's gone. I've done it for about 20 years now and everyone asks how I make it.

I have been making this for years and it is very good!!  The  pecans and pineapple give the ball such an unique flavor.  It does have a hard time holding a ball  shape however.   Not a reason not to make it.

Made for family Christmas Eve get together..only change was adding 1 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese.  My family truly devoured this cheeseball, didn't have a crumb left.  Will definitely be a keeper for my family.

This is my favorite and my families favorite cheese ball ever.  I made this for our Christmas Eve get together and there wasn't even a crumb left.  Usually when I make the other 2 that I have over the years, at least I have leftovers LOL.  This is the best and easiest to make...can't believe I missed this recipe all these years.  Jan V

The flavor is good; however, the consistency is much too soft to hold the shape of a ball. This could be corrected by adding in 16 oz. of shredded Vermont white cheddar cheese.

I agree that this cheeseball is wonderful -- and pretty easy! I've made it twice for different get-togethers and gotten lots of raves and recipe requests!

We did not like this at all.  I took it to a card party and no one ate it.  It was like eating just a spoonful of onions and green peppers - couldn't even taste the pineapple.  Very salty, also.

If you want a differnt but unique taste, try toasting the pecans.

Mine didn't turn out very solid, but oh my gosh, was it good!!  I just turned it into a dip and topped it with the finely chopped pecans.  Definitely a keeper, though maybe next time, it will hold a ball shape for me!
