Super Bowl Cheese Football
"I found this wonderful recipe on another site and then modified it a little. There were two recipes there and I chose this one to make because I prefer chopped nuts on a cheese ball. It is so pretty and great for the Super Bowl."

Do you think I could add some chopped cooked bacon, or will that be too rich tasting?

What a fantastic cheeseball recipe! It was so much fun to make and looked and tasted so great! The onion and bell pepper (I used a red one) go great with the cream cheese and cheese and the pecans add a lovely crunch and nutty flavour.<br/>I left out the mayonnaise as I didnt have any on hand, but that didnt really make much of a difference. The ball was easy to shape and tasted mmm moreish.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this fun recipe with us, Mimi! -
This was pretty good - I was easy to make and looked really nice! Make sure to take it out of the fridge and let it sit for a bit to allow it to soften enough to be able to spread it on a cracker. The reason I took a star off is that I wasn't so fond of the overall taste. It did go over well tho. -
I am so excited for this because we are always watching the Cowboys and the Bears and Green Bay thank you so much
