Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseball Mixture
1️⃣ In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, crushed pineapple, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2️⃣ Cover the bowl and chill for 30 minutes—this makes it easier to shape.
Step 2: Shape & Coat the Cheeseball
3️⃣ Once chilled, use your hands to form the mixture into a ball.
4️⃣ Roll the cheeseball in chopped pecans (and parsley, if using) to coat the outside evenly.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy!
5️⃣ Place on a serving platter and chill for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
6️⃣ Serve with crackers, pita chips, or fresh veggies.
