8 ozcream cheese 8 ozcheddar cheese, grated fine 1\/2green bellpepper, diced small 2green onions, chopped small (green & white parts) 1\/2 ccrushed pineapple in own juice (small can will do) 1\/2jar diced pimento (drained)\u2026 or one of those really tiny jars 1 tspseasoned salt <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 – Have cream cheese at room temperature. Combine all ingredients and mix with mixer. Chill well before serving. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – I usually use the whole jar of pimento. Mostly because I love pimento, but also because I never know what to do with the rest of the jar, lol. Or\u2026 you could double this and use the whole jar. I don\u2019t drain the pineapple.. works just fine either way. Just remember to chop the onion and bell pepper really small\u2026 tiny even. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – Originally this was a cheese ball recipe. You were supposed to divide mixture in half and roll each portion in chopped pecans, forming 2 balls. The first time I made this, I made balls. Never again! If you don\u2019t eat it all, the pecans get rubbery in the fridge. Ever since then, I just make it as a spread and serve in a bowl with really good snack crackers. It is ever better the second day, so can be made a day ahead. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 – If you really feel the need to make this into balls, I would suggest draining the pineapple and putting mixture in the fridge for an hour or so before trying to roll it in chopped pecans. It makes 2 cheese balls. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
