This is similar to a family recipe of mine that I think has more flavor. Try 2 8oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper, 8 1/2 oz crushed pineapple, 2 T. finely chopped green onion, 1 tsp seasoned salt, and chopped pecans. (Drain pineapple & bell pepper really well). Makes 2 balls. Roll in rest of pecans.

Wonderful cheeseball, was a hit at the pot luck. Definately let it sit for a while to allow the flavors to blend.

Disappointing. Flavor was bland, took me more like 25 to 35 minutes to prepare rather than 5 and I cut the recipe in half but the size ball I ended up with was much larger than a "tennis ball".

This recipe if not done right, becomes a dip instead of a ball. Drain the pineapple really well and also used CRUSHED pineapple like it calls for. I accidentally got pineapple chunks, thought it would be ok, so I whipped with a mixer the cream cheese and pineapple together and it came out too wet, and then I just decided to use it as a dip, but adding all the ingredients, even the crushed pecans and people still loved it!

Really make sure to drain the pineapple or it is very liquidy. Mine turned into a dip...not a ball. Still quite tasty though.

Had my doubts at first, but went with positive reviews, and so glad I did! This was a huge hit, and I only put it in a bowl, and let everyone scoop it out with crackers.

It needs a little more flavor. Maybe some seasoning along with the veggies and pineapple would help. Not worth the trouble for me. I don't have a food processor, therefore it took a long time for me to mince all the veggies.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I did make one mistake which i believe was not draining the pineapple thoroughly. The mixture was very creamy. I could not form it into a ball until i stuck it in the refigerator for 4 hours. It never really set up they way it should have so i put it on a platter and formed it into a rectangle. I then covered it with the pecans. I'm anxious to make this again. I will drain the pineapple with a strainer:) For sure a keeper even if it never sets up right for me. The taste is wonderful:)
