Actually our cheese ball (s) we make two are in the frig chilling for tonight. One is onion, blue cheese and cheddar. The other is green peppers, onion, and cheddar. Both have some other mysterious substances included, but I am sworn to secrecy.

Chicken Cheese Ball

10 oz can white meat chicken/chicken breast
1 pouch Original Ranch Dressing mix (the powder kind)
2-8 oz packages of cream cheese
(or 1/3 Less Fat or no NO FAT) - room temp
1 cup chopped pecan pieces - to roll the cheese ball in

Mix together in a bowl and form into a ball and roll in the pecan
pieces. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm.

Blue Cheese Ball

8 oz. softened cream cheese
2 oz. Maytag blue cheese
sour cream or mayonnaise
1/3 cup pecans, chopped very fine

Mix cream cheese and blue cheese together. Add some sour cream or
mayonnaise to make it smoother and easier to spread. Chill, divide
into 2 small balls, and roll each ball in pecans.

Pineapple Cheese Ball

2 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened (low fat did not turn out as well)
1 (8 1/2oz) can crushed pineapple, drained very well
2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
2 Tbsp finely chopped onion
1 Tbsp seasoned salt

Beat cream cheese with fork until smooth. Gradually stir in pineapple,
1 cup pecans, green pepper, onion and salt; chill. Shape into ball;
roll in remaining nuts. Refrigerate until well chilled. Garnish with
pineapple slices, cherries and parsley. Makes about 40 appetizer
servings.

The green pepper gets liquid when you process it in the food
processor. I have to blot it with a paper towel. When I made the ball
with the low fat cream cheese I either did not drain the green pepper
and pineapple well or it was the cream cheese. Ever since I have used
full fat cream cheese and have not had a problem.

Pineapple Cheese Ball

2 (8oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 small can Dole crushed pineapple, drained
2 (1/4 cup) pkg pecan pieces
1 Tbsp green pepper
1 tsp onion
1 tsp seasoned salt

Combine all of the above with just 1 pkg of nuts, then roll all of
this in the other pkg of nuts. Best served with Ritz crackers.

Delicious sounding Cheese Balls!

Thank you for keeping the secret, I have not had my morning coffee!

I'm more than a tad late, but glad you could make the Cheese Ball.
