Pineapple Cheese Ball

Are you looking for a New Year’s Eve appetizer? Here’s one of our family’s favorites – Pineapple Cheese Ball. It’s tasty served with Wheat Thins or Ritz crackers or even pretzels. And better yet, this one is quick and easy to whip up!
Pineapple Cheese Ball
- 2- 8oz packages cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1- 8oz can crushed pineapple, drained
- ½ cup chopped green pepper
- 2 Tablespoons finely grated onion
- 1 teaspoon Lowry’s seasoned salt
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
In a large mixing bowl whip cream cheese until smooth.
Add the drained pineapple, chopped green pepper, grated onion. Mix until blended. Then add the seasoned salt.
Form 1 large, or 2 smaller balls with this mixture. (I like to wrap the mixture in wax paper to form a ball). Then roll the cream cheese ball in the chopped pecans to evenly coat. Wrap completed cheese ball(s) in wax paper and refrigerate until firm (2-4 hours). Serve with Wheat Thins. We rarely have any of this cheese ball left over. However, it is best when consumed within a day or two.
